Scope of Work

EPC for civil works and installation of process equipment in addition to testing, commissioning, operation and maintenance for treated sewer effluent (TSE) water supplied by ASHGHAL and water coming from Aspire ground water network.

The project aims at improving the water consumption sustainability by minimizing the dependence on KAHRAMAA potable water for major consumption areas like the irrigation system and cooling purposes. The water should be polished in a reverse osmosis (RO) treatment plant to remove the large majority of contaminants, sediment, suspended particulate matter, viruses and pathogens. The water parameters should be refined in order to meet the requirements and guidelines of WHO for the safe use of wastewater in agriculture.
