Marafiq, the power and water utility company for Jubail and Yanbu, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, recently signed the fourth phase contract to expand its Industrial Wastewater Treatment Plant No 8 (IWTP8) in Jubail.

The project is expected to take three years and will be implemented by the Saudi Electrical and Mechanical Services Company. Marafiq is an integrated utility service provider to industrial cities within Saudi Arabia, which hosts some of the world’s largest hydrocarbon conglomerates in Yanbu and Jubail.

The president and CEO of Marafiq, Abdullah Khalifa Al-Buainain, signed the contract worth $201 million with the Saudi Electrical and Mechanical Services Company to implement the fourth expansion works of its Industrial Wastewater Treatment Plant No. 8.

Al-Buainain further stated that Marafiq is seeking to provide high-level services that meet the requirements of growth in industrial projects in the Kingdom within the framework of its 2030 Vision, adding that this expansion will enable the plant to treat industrial wastewater with a 125,000 cubic metre per day of liquid waste in addition to its current capacity.

Al-Buainain emphasised that this project demonstrates Marafiq’s commitment to its ambitious plans, which are to expand its business in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
