Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zone (RAKEZ) successfully retrofitted the region\u2019s first-of-its-kind environment-friendly water treatment technology in its district cooling plant.<\/span><\/p>\n This \u2018cooling tower\u2019 water treatment system controls scaling, corrosion and biological growth in water holistically, using ultra-low frequency (ULF) electromagnetic waves without chemicals. ULF treatment is electronic and fully controlled via microprocessors, therefore does not require any human intervention.<\/span><\/p>\n RAKEZ Group CEO, Ramy Jallad said, \u201cFor RAKEZ, pursuing sustainability through green initiatives is highly important and we are strong supporters of Ras Al Khaimah\u2019s energy strategy. We work closely with the RAK Municipality and solution providers like ENGIE Solutions to protect, maintain and nurture our ecosystem by tapping into the latest innovations. The implementation of this unique water treatment solution in our plant is a step closer to achieving our green goals collectively.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n In addition to improving the quality of water, RAKEZ and ENGIE Solutions help save significant amounts of energy and water by retrofitting office buildings through <\/span>a <\/span>comprehensive Energy Performance Contract (EPC). During this partnership, the economic zone will save more than 25 gigawatt-hours of electricity over 5 years, with an impact on carbon emissions comparable to that of taking nearly 2,000 cars off the roads. Additionally, over 14 million gallons of water, enough to fill 25 Olympic-sized swimming pools, will be saved.<\/span><\/p>\n
