About
IDE designed, built, and proudly operates the Afikey Maim Contaminated surface water plant – a first-of-its-kind brackish/surface water reverse osmosis (BWRO) plant in Israel.
The Afikey Maim Facility treats the southern Jordan River brackish/surface water, so the recently polluted river water can again be a valuable resource for agriculture and industrial use in the region. Supported by IDE’s advanced process, the facility will provide approximately 280 m3/h (2,000,000 m3 per year) of high-quality water to Israel’s Gilboa area, in addition to about 70 m3/h of brine for fish farming ponds.
- Capacity: 6,750 m³/day
- Technology: Reverse Osmosis (RO)
- Project type: Engineering-Procurement-Construction (EPC), Operation & Maintenance (0&M)
- Location: Israel
- Commissioning date: 2021
