Abengoa SA, the Spanish company that’s developed desalination plants from Algeria to India and China, has broken ground on West Africa’s first desalination facility, a venture meant to benefit 500,000 people in Ghana.
The Nungua desalination plant will require a $125 million investment and have the capacity to produce 60,000 cubic meters of drinking water a day using reverse-osmosis technology, said Abengoa, which is responsible for designing and constructing facility in Accra, the country’s capital.
