Singapore

SEMBCORP Industries has completed an approximately US$200 million expansion to a water and power plant in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), it said in a press release on Tuesday, adding that the expansion has begun commercial operation.

The expansion has boosted the plant's total seawater desalination capacity by 30 per cent to 130 million imperial gallons per day and the group already has a deal to sell off those extra 30 million imperial gallons to Abu Dhabi. One imperial gallon is about 4.55 litres, slightly more than a US gallon.
