The Noor Vijeh Company (N.V.Co.) (Persian: نورویژه) is a private company based in Tehran involved in financing, execution, and operation of major water desalination schemes via reverse osmosis (RO). The company was established in 2001 and is currently Iran's largest private investor in reverse osmosis.[1] In the January 2015 update of the Official Gazette, the registered capital of the company stands at 90 billion Rials.[2] NVCO is one of only 2 Iranian companies on the Pars Oil and Gas Company's approved vendor list for desalination units.[3] The preference in NVCO is given to BOO (Build-Own-Operate) and BOT (Build-Operate-Transfer) contracts.[4]

The current total RO desalination capacity of the company is 60,000 cubic metres (16 million US gallons) per day with an additional 20,000 cubic metres (5.3 million US gallons) per day under construction. Noor Vijeh's plants are located in Asaluyeh, Bandar Abbas, Hendijan, and Chabahar (2 phases).[5] [6] [7] [8] [9] The plants in the cities of Bushehr and Kangan will start operation in 2015. Noor Vijeh's RO plant in the city of Qom with a capacity of approximately 3,000 cubic metres (790,000 US gal) per day successfully completed its operational life in 2006. The company currently employs over 200 personnel.[10]
