Dubai-headquartered water treatment company working on desalination and wastewater projects

About Metito

Metito is a water treatment company headquartered in Dubai. With origins going back to the 1950s, it has grown into an international business that designs, builds and operates water and wastewater plants across the Middle East, Africa and Asia.

Its work covers several types of projects. Desalination plants turn seawater or brackish water into drinking water. Wastewater treatment plants clean sewage and industrial effluent so it can be safely discharged or reused. Water treatment systems supply clean water for municipalities, industry and buildings.

Metito works on both small, packaged systems and large municipal projects, and it participates in public-private partnership models, in which companies build, finance and operate plants for governments over long contracts.

Water reuse is increasingly important in dry regions. Treated wastewater can be used for irrigation, landscaping, district cooling and industrial processes, reducing demand for desalinated water.

The UAE relies heavily on desalination for drinking water, and the country has set targets to increase water reuse and improve efficiency.

Climate change and population growth are adding pressure on water resources across the region, creating strong demand for water infrastructure.
