Suez SA said Thursday that it signed a contract to build an
industrial water-desalination plant in China.
The French utility firm, which merged with Veolia Environnement
SA in a deal sealed two years ago, will design and build the
desalination plant in Penglai, Shandong province, alongside its
Chinese partners Wanhua Chemical Group and China Railway Shanghai
Engineering Bureau Group.
The plant will use reverse-osmosis technology to treat up to 100
million liters a day of seawater for the chemicals industry. It
adds to Suez's existing desalination projects in China and
Australia, the company said.
The signing of the contract comes amid a three-day visit by
French President Emmanuel Macron to China. He met Chinese President
Xi Jinping for talks on Thursday, with topics including global
diplomacy and Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
