FEATURED COMMENT
I would like to know what type coating they use on oil tanks surface to keep oil cool in hot summer .
As a consequence, state-owned utility Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) has begun building one of the largest power and desalination plants in the world which, upon completion, will produce 9,000 MW of power and 720 million gallons of water each day.
The plant is being built on a 4 km2 site 60 km south-west of Dubai City on the shores of the Arabian Gulf. Nakheel’s Dubai Waterfront development is under construction to the north of the site and the border with Abu Dhabi lies to the south.
The plant will be built in six stages with the first two stages, PI Station and PII Station, due online from 2012. PI and PII will each consist of a 1,500 MW combined cycle gas power island and a 120 MIGD (million imperial gallons per day) desalination island. Costs are estimated at $2 to 3 billion per stage. Later stages of the plant are planned to come online from 2013.
A seawater intake canal carrying 90,000 gallons of water each second runs along the northern length of the site providing each of the six stages of the plant with water for desalination and cooling. Construction of the canal begins in 2009 and involves extensive dredging and civil works including the building of a 1.5 km long offshore intake channel and a 4 km long onshore canal. In addition, an offshore outfall channel will be built for the discharge of cooling water and brine from the plant. The outfall channel ends 4 km out to sea so that warm discharged brine is not re-circulated into the intake channel.

actually, RTIP was one of two Mega projects at Ras Tanura, the other was Ras Tanura Refinery Expansion Project (RTREP) which was designed to enable Ras Tanura cope with the requirements of RTIP. BOTH have been put on indefinite hold as of March 2010. Very unfortunate that they were put on hold.

Its hard to know what would really go ahead in Q1, but now we're nearly at $60 most of these look like winners. If governments are playing the long game the world needs these resources, and once they're built the cash will come rolling in.
