Desalination plant at Tseung Kwan O
The Tseung Kwan O Desalination Plant (TKODP) is one of the strategic infrastructures by which the Water Supplies Department (WSD), with a view to addressing the extreme effects of climate change, fosters climate resilience by providing a reliable supply of potable fresh water. Upon commissioning, the first stage of TKODP will have a potable water production capacity of 135 million litres per day (“Mld” in abbreviation), equivalent to about 5% of daily fresh water consumption in Hong Kong. The plant can be expanded for its second stage, with which it will be capable of providing an ultimate capacity of 270 Mld (that is, about 10% of daily fresh water consumption). TKODP is the first of its kind in Hong Kong to adopt the reverse osmosis (RO) technology to produce potable water for municipal use by desalinating seawater.
