Brackish well water is used as the only portable water source in the Sodom area.

EPT has been asked to design, build and operate a plant to provide 600 m³/day of drinking water to the Dead Sea Work (DSW) using the local brackish well water.

The plant includes combining sand filter and UF filtration as a pretreatment to the RO system. The blended water (UF & RO permeate) is disinfected prior it has been discharged to the client.    

On-line monitoring of pH, Temperature, Turbidity, free chlorine residual and conductivity guarantee to provide the client safety and stable product.

The plant is working 24/7 continuously from 2014 with stable water quality according to the local and national regulations.
