JEDDH: Saudi Arabia’s GI Aqua Tech is set to export its first industrial wastewater treatment plant using nanotechnology in early 2026, the company’s CEO, Sherif Desouky, told Al Eqtisadiah.
The project, which operates on a per-cubic-meter treatment system, is valued at approximately €5 million ($5.9 million), with the first plant set for France, marking the first nanotechnology-based water treatment and reuse system manufactured and exported from Saudi Arabia to the world.

These plants are designed for 100 percent reuse of industrial wastewater, and the expansion plan includes exporting several units to Bahrain and other Gulf countries with a combined capacity of 10,000 cubic meters in the first quarter of next year.
Desouky noted that the plant being exported to France will be installed at a cosmetics manufacturing facility, one of the most challenging industries for wastewater treatment.
