The $400 million project will combine a seawater reverse-osmosis plant with an integrated salt production line, according to a Wednesday release.

The Saudi utility company will leverage its desalination project development expertise, technology, financing structure, as well as engineering, procurement, construction, operations, and maintenance capabilities, while Garam will handle site preparations, project access and permits, among others.
