A 2,000 kVA diesel generator set designed and built by Margen will secure the essential and safety power supply of a desalination plant in Mauritania. The unit is housed in a soundproof container and operates at a nominal voltage of 400/230 V and a frequency of 50 Hz.
The plant is located close to a major urban centre, where drinking water production is a primary service for the population and for local infrastructure. In this setting, uninterrupted power to critical loads is a precondition for the whole desalination cycle, which relies on pumps, control systems and safety devices that cannot be switched off.
The generator is configured for the harsh environmental conditions of the installation area, with high requirements for reliability, safety and ease of maintenance. The container integrates the main auxiliary systems, limits noise emissions and shields the equipment from weather and external conditions.
The supply fits within Margen’s strategy for the Middle East and Africa, where high-power generator sets serve as safety infrastructure for water and industrial networks.
Mauritania is located in the Maghreb region of West Africa. It is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the west, Western Sahara to the north and northwest, Algeria to the northeast, Mali to the east and southeast, and Senegal to the southwest. By land area Mauritania is the 11th-largest country in Africa and the 28th-largest in the world; 90% of its territory is in the Sahara desert. Most of its population of 5.4 million live in the temperate south of the country.
