Qatar is located along the Persian Gulf on the Arabian Peninsula and has an area of 11,427 square kilometers, a population of approximately 22.6 million, and the 3rd largest natural gas reserve in the world following Iran and Russia. With a rapidly growing population and increasing development, a number of infrastructure initiatives such as the construction of new roads, transport and hotels have also been launched in Qatar, in preparation for the FIFA World Cup in 2022.

As a part of the initiatives, a big project constructing a seawater desalination plant and a gas-fired power plant has been launched in the suburbs of the capital city, Doha. Samsung C&T Corporation, the largest general trading company and constructor in South Korea, will undertake the construction of both plants.

Torishima has received orders for seawater intake pumps for the seawater desalination plant and boiler feed pumps for the power plant. Both types of pumps play a vital role in the seawater desalination plant and power plant respectively and consequently must have high reliability and high efficiency. Torishima has a proven track record and a high reputation in supplying these pumps, which was decisive in winning the order.

This project is expected to ensure the stable supply of water and electricity in Qatar, and is scheduled to be completed in June 2018. Torishima will be committed to the development and prosperity of the country with its pumping technology.
