UK-based Bluewater Bio, an award-winning global specialist in technologies for cost-effective water and wastewater treatment, said it has secured a contract for the major upgradation of Tubli Reclaimed Water Production Centre in Bahrain.
As per the deal, Bluewater Bio will act as engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractor and technology supplier to help more than double the plant’s capacity for water reuse.
Headquartered in London, Bluewater Bio’s range of best in class technologies have been deployed at over 80 sites globally.
The UK government’s Export Finance programme is funding the Bahrain contract worth $36.5 million.
The Bluewater Bio solution, based on its proprietary Hybacs secondary treatment process, involves the conversion of 2 of the 10 aeration lanes and 4 of the 12 clarifiers into a Hybacs plant, by installing 42 Smart units upstream of the aeration lanes, said the statement from the UK company.
The company converted two of the plant’s 10 aeration lanes to its Hybacs hybrid activated sludge process in 2013, generating 100,000 cu m/d of treated sewage effluent (TSE) for reuse.
The plant has a tertiary treatment system comprising filtration and ozonation to prepare the TSE for reuse in irrigation, stated Bluewater Bio.
Tubli wastewater treatment plant is the largest such facility in Bahrain serving 1.4 million people, it added.-TradeArabia News Service
