The 132kV substation provides power supply for TKO Desalination Plant.
Product Water Storage Tank
The treated water is stored in the Product Water Storage Tank and is pumped to local service reservoirs for distribution to consumers.
On‐Site Chlorine Generation (OSCG) System Building
Chlorine is generated on‐site for drinking water disinfection, providing a self‐sustaining supply for seawater desalination. The system is reliable and safe and chlorine can be immediately generated according to actual needs.
Post‐Treatment Building
After reverse osmosis desalination, chemical compounds such as chlorine, carbon dioxide, calcium hydroxide and fluoride are added to the treated water for disinfection, adjustment to water hardness and pH level, and dental protection.
Reverse Osmosis (RO) Building
RO is a leading‐edge, well‐proven technology where RO membranes filter salts from seawater to produce drinking water. RO plays the core role of seawater desalination in the TKO Desalination Plant.
ActiDAFF
ActiDAFF is a combination of dissolved air flotation (DAF) technology and filtration process, which removes solids, suspended particles and impurities from the seawater in order to prepare the seawater for the subsequent reverse osmosis treatment process.
Administration Building
As the central control hub of the plant, the Administration Building consists of advanced control room, laboratory, and research and development centre, etc., to ensure the TKO Desalination Plant can provide a high‐quality and stable drinking water supply to citizens.
Combined Intake and Outfall Shaft
Combined Shaft is a single structure that connects both Intake and Outfall pipes of the TKO Desalination Plant.
Intake
The Intake is submerged offshore to extract seawater and carry out preliminary screening.
Outfall
The Outfall discharges brine, a byproduct of the desalination process, into the sea for dispersion, in which marine ecology will not be adversely affected.
