UNITI LLC, an industrial titanium venture jointly owned by Allegheny Technologies Incorporated (NYSE: ATI) and Verkhnaya Salda Metallurgical Production Association (VSMPO), today announced that it has been chosen to supply a significant portion of the commercially pure (CP) titanium to be used in the world’s largest seawater desalination plant.

UNITI expects to supply between 5.5 million and 6.0 million pounds of CP titanium strip that will be used to produce titanium tubing for the project. This is the largest order in UNITI’s history. Shipments are planned to be spread evenly throughout 2011.

UNITI’s customer, Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction of Korea, was selected by the Saline Water Conversion Corporation (SWCC) for a seawater desalination project to be built in Ras Az Zawr, Saudi Arabia. The plant’s daily potable water output will be the largest in the world, sufficient to meet the needs of 3.5 million people.
