This project will be located on a sprawling 1.6 square kilometer site at Ras Bantoot near Duqm on the Wusta coast in Oman. The project consists with the task of Construction of a solar salt refinery with capacity of 135,000 metric tons per annum. The undertaking includes the development of a salt handling and refining plant, with a limit of tons for every annum spread over a region of 1,700 square meters. The undertaking will be situated at Ras Bentoot in the Wilayat of Mahut in Al Wusta Governorate, about 400km from Muscat. The sun's energy will be harnessed to concentrate seawater into crystals of raw salt, which will then be processed and refined to produce 99.8% pure salt. Aside from cooking purposes, salt has wide application in the Sultanate, most notably in the Oil & Gas and industrial sectors. As industrial salt, it is used in the production of drilling mud and also finds application in steam injection, water softening, soap manufacturing, and so on. Client's construction arm is carrying out the main contract. Construction is already underway. The scheme is due to be completed by end of 2017. Equipment for the refinery has been procured from an Italian technology provider. The purified salt will be marketed as a 'Made in Oman' brand.
