Hyosung Ebara completes water desalination facility on Mueuido island, Incheon

Hyosung Ebara recently completed a water desalination facility on Mueuido island, Incheon, and started test operations.
Hyosung Ebara signed an agreement in April with Incheon Metropolitan City Waterworks Headquarters to construct a facility to desalinate seawater off Mueuido island to produce drinking water. The project was conducted as a measure to supply potable water to the 130 people of the island’s Saemkkumi Village. The facility’s daily production will be 100 cubic meters of water, a volume sufficient enough to supply up to 300 people a day.
The villagers who will benefit from the drinking water had been using underground water, but have suffered major inconveniences due to water shortages stemming from drought and an influx of tourists.
