Project in Detail

Seawater Desalination Plant in Jorf Lasfar, Morocco

120,000 m³/day. The largest desalination plant ever built by a Greek company.

A project that redefined what Greek engineering can deliver at scale was brought to life on the Moroccan Atlantic coast. Commissioned in 2024 for JESA and OCP, one of the world’s largest phosphate producers, the Wave 2 E plant at Jorf Lasfar produces 120,000 cubic meters of water per day, meeting the industrial and process water demands of a facility that operates without interruption.

Designed and built by SYCHEM under a fast-track schedule, the project required precision at every stage: from intake engineering and membrane system configuration to energy recovery integration and automated process control.

The plant was built to operate continuously under demanding conditions, delivering consistent output quality while keeping energy consumption in check. For SYCHEM, Jorf Lasfar is both the largest project of its kind in the company’s history and a demonstration of what integrated EPC capability, proprietary technology, and operational discipline look like when the stakes are highest.
