State of Qatar, Qatar General Electricity & Water Corporation (KAHRAMAA) developed major water pipeline scheme to transmit potable water from Ras Laffan C (RGPC) Power and Desalination Plant (IWPP) at Ras Laffan Industrial City located at North-East Qatar to various water stations in Doha (capital) and around.
One of the main tasks of the project was to analyze hydraulic system behavior under various conditions (normal operation and emergency cases) in order to enable proper selection of the pumps for the forwarding pumping station, in future water production plant.
The RGPC IWPP production capacity equals 63 MGD of potable water with possibility to be extended in the future. The system is capable to deliver 63 MIGD (3.315 m3/s) in normal operation regimes and 75 MIGD (3.946 m3/s) for emergency supply situations.
The DN 1600 mm pipeline is 82 km long, with eight interconnection points with similar existing DN 1200 mm (RLA) and DN 1600 (RLB) pipelines and several connections to existing/future primary reservoirs.
