Iran has opened a key desalination plant on the coasts of the Persian Gulf as the country goes ahead with plans to use modern technologies for supply of drinking water to its arid regions.
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani used a video conference call on Thursday to open the desalination factory in the southern port city of Bandar Abbas which local officials said has a capacity to produce 20,000 cubic meters of drinking water per day.
A first unit of the plant, with the same desalination capacity, had been opened in 2018 while local officials said the entire plant would reach a production of 60,000 cubic meters per day in late September.
The desalination plant uses reverse osmosis technology to desalinate water fro the Persian Gulf, said a deputy Iranian energy minister, adding that the facility has cost 4.5 trillion rials (nearly $20 million) to build.
