Company to supply and supervise packaged sewage treatment plants
Veolia Water Technologies Gulf was recently awarded a contract by Mohammed Abdulmohsin Al-Kharafi & Sons (Al-Kharafi) to supply, supervise, install and commission 53 AnoxKaldnes Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) packaged sewage treatment plants.
This order is the largest ever received by Veolia for this type of packaged plants and will allow for 40,000 m3 of water to be reused each day in water-scarce Kuwait.
The compact and packaged sewage treatment units will be installed at various locations throughout the country where they will compensate a shortage in sewage handling.
Following treatment, the effluents will be reused for irrigation, therefore saving freshwater that would otherwise have been desalinated at high cost, particularly in terms of energy.
In Sabah Al Ahmad City, a planned community located 80km south of Kuwait City in Khiran Kuwait, 23 AnoxKaldnes MBBR package plants with a total treatment capacity of 17,000 cbm/day will be added to existing sewage treatment installations.
In West Abdullah City, new sewage treatment installations will be built and will include 27 package plants totalling 23,000 cbm/day. Finally, three more units will be installed as provisional items at other locations.
“After having worked on the Sulaibiya WWTP Expansion Project, we are honored to have been chosen by Al-Kharafi once again and we look forward to continuing our successful collaboration,” observed Thierry Froment, CEO, Veolia Water Technologies Middle East.
The first units will be delivered early in 2021, with all 53 units delivered in less than 12 months.
