Rubber expansion joints for one of the most important desalination plants in the UAE

 Rubber expansion joints designed for one of the most important desalination plants currently in the United Arab Emirates.

This plant will be commissioned throughout 2026 with a capacity of over 350,000 m3/d.

This is a complex project and a new challenge for BIKAR Expansion Joints, given the large number of joints requested and the variety of types, combined with the design conditions and the required delivery time.

Both the quantity and types of joints were relevant aspects.

A summary of their characteristics is presented below:

Number of joints manufactured:
551 units

Types:
BF-PPS
Rubber dismantling joints
Reducers
Pressure Balanced / Self-compensated
B-Flex

Design Conditions:
Bellows material: Food-Grade EPDM + reinforcing fabric
Design pressure: From 10 to 20 bar
Temperature: +55°C

It has been a long process, but we can say that the supply has been successfully delivered.

With this new project, in addition to others already signed in the area, BIKAR Expansion Joints strengthens its presence in the desalination sector, providing a solution to one of the most demanding industries given the working and, therefore, design conditions required.

Rubber expansion joints are equipment with great responsibility, capable of absorbing movements, vibrations, and stresses in piping systems. They protect high-value equipment from thermal movements and mechanical stress.
