Haya Water is using MBR technology for its wastewater treatment plant
Oman’s Haya Water is using the Membrane Bio Reactor (MBR) technology for its world-class water reuse system to ensure water available for re-use is of top quality. Considered to be the largest submerged membrane bio-reactor treatment plant worldwide, Haya is committed to having the most advanced and sophisticated sewage treatment technology in order to transform Muscat and help make it a better city, a statement said. A pipeline network of 280 km has been laid out to deliver sewage to treatment points and to the final treatment facility at Al Ansab. The Al Ansab sewage treatment plant is one of the most complex and advanced systems ever undertaken in the region, bestowing on Muscat a modern, clean and healthy wastewater system. The local community is provided treated effluent for irrigation and other purposes. Highest-quality water The water available for re-use is of the highest quality and meets stringent standards set down by authorities, says the statement. The plant scores in another area. The sophisticated MBR is designed in such a way as to take up less space than other treatment systems. This was an important consideration at Al Ansab which is surrounded by hills and space was not ample for the plant. Over 80 per cent of Muscat residents will be connected directly to the new modern system. It will mean an end to the smelly septic tank and the requirement for a truck to come and take away wastewater from private homes and businesses. Water available for re-use from the project is being used extensively to ensure that parks and public areas of Muscat stay green. Increasing numbers of real estate developers and industrial concerns are also benefitting from the Haya Water project and its treated water, says the statement.
