Yokogawa enters UAE with Sharjah thermal desalination project order
SHARJAH, UAE – Japanese electrical engineering and software company Yokogawa Electric Corporation has secured its first order for a power and desalination plant in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The company’s subsidiary Yokogawa Middle East & Africa received an order from the Sharjah Electricity & Water Authority (SEWA) to provide control systems for the Layyah Power and Desalination Station.
SEWA is retrofitting the control systems and auxiliary facilities for units 7 and 8 at the Layyah power and desalination station.
