LG Water Solutions has been chosen as the exclusive RO membrane supplier for the Ashdod Desalination Project in Israel which is one of the largest desalination plants in the country.

Seoul/South Korea – LG Water Solutions, LG Chem’s business unit specialized in water treatment and a leading manufacturer of NanoH2O reverse osmosis (RO) membranes, recently announced that it has been selected as the exclusive RO membrane supplier for the Ashdod Rehabilitation Project in Israel, co-owned by Shapir and GES.

The facility is one of the five largest desalination plants in Israel, with a production capacity of 336,000 m3/day, accounting for nearly one sixth of the total 600 million m3/year volume of desalinated water produced in the country. Shapir and GES will add a 150 MW power plant and operate the facility as an independent power producer to supply the power needed for plant operations.

“We are extremely honored to have been chosen by Shapir and GES as the membrane supplier for the Ashdod plant,” said Juan Carlos de Armas, Sales Director of Global Large Projects at LG Water Solutions. “This project marks a major milestone for LG Water Solutions and further solidifies our position as a key player in the desalination industry. Our advanced manufacturing capabilities, the industry's leading 99.89 % salt rejection RO technology, coupled with exceptional technical and commercial support, have been instrumental in driving our remarkable growth trajectory in this sector.”

LG Water Solutions will supply LG SW 440 SR G2 membranes to replace all existing seawater RO (SWRO) membranes in the first pass system. Incorporated with LG Water Solutions’ proprietary Thin Film Nanocomposite (TFN) technology, LG NanoH2O RO membranes deliver the industry’s highest level of salt rejection. This feature significantly improves the first-pass product quality reducing the flow treated by the second pass, which prolongs the service life of second-pass membranes and reduces overall energy consumption. The membranes are slated to be commissioned by mid-2024.

LG Water Solutions’ ground-breaking TFN technology improves permeate quality at lower feed pressures, resulting in substantial reductions in power consumption, operating expense (Opex), and carbon emissions. These advantages, combined with a dedicated team delivering expert technical and commercial support, have contributed to the accelerated growth of LG Water Solutions in the global desalination industry.
