Efficient and sustainable cooling solutions

Emicool is providing chilled water for many prestigious facilities at Expo 2020 including the Expo village, RTA Expo Metro Station, Dubai Exhibition Centre, and Dubai South Mall. The plant is controlled and monitored using highly advanced software with a prime focus on efficiency management and can be utilised from a UMS (unmanned space), enabling efficiently run plants without operator interferences.

The Expo plant has also been uniquely designed to operate using direct Treated Sewage Effluent (TSE) feed, which provides better discharge quality and ensures a more sustainable approach to watercooling mechanisms.

Emicool’s strategic focus on digital transformation, enabling remotely controlled processes, facilitating instant connection and disconnection through the automated centralised software, minimising turnaround time of registration and cancellation processes, increasing customer satisfaction, and enhancing the experience are all initiatives contributing to Emicool’s vision to be recognised as a world-class provider of reliable and efficient district cooling services in the region.
