The Noor Vijeh Company (NVCo) (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 one of Iran's largest private investors in reverse osmosis. In the January 2015 update of the Official Gazette, the registered capital of the company stands at 90 billion Rials. NVCo is one of only 2 Iranian companies on the Pars Oil and Gas Company's approved vendor list for desalination units. The preference in NVCo is given to BOO (Build-Own-Operate) and BOT (Build-Operate-Transfer) contracts.
The current total RO desalination capacity of the company is approximately 65,000 cubic metres (17 million US gallons) per day with an additional 10,000 cubic metres (2.6 million US gallons) per day under construction in the City of Bushehr. Noor Vijeh's plants are located in Asaluyeh, Bandar Abbas, Hendijan, and Chabahar (2 phases). The newest plant to start operation is located in the city of Kangan, for which the opening ceremony in early 2016 received widespread media attention. Noor Vijeh's RO plant in the city of Qom with a capacity of approximately 3,000 cubic metres (790 thousand US gallons) per day successfully completed its contract in 2006.
