An intelligent process design increases capacity while reducing operational costs.
WABAG successfully delivered the El Raswa II Water Treatment Plant (WTP) in Port Said, Egypt, originally designed for 80,000 m³/day but enhanced to achieve a capacity of 100,000 m³/day. The plant employs advanced Multi-Barrier technology to treat water sourced from the River Nile, ensuring the provision of clean drinking water for approximately 500,000 residents. The plant’s intelligent design, automated systems, and compact footprint make it a standout project in modern water treatment.
Project Features:
- Scope: EPC – including design, construction, and commissioning.
- Technology: Multi-Barrier technology including Activated Carbon Dosing System, Variable Frequency Drives (VFD), Automated Backwash program, Sludge Blanket System:
- Intake & Screening (three mesh widths)
- Pre-chlorination (using gaseous Cl2)
- pH adjustment and dosing of powdered activated carbon (PAC)
- Coagulation & flocculation (2 units)
- Filtration (12 filters)
- Post-chlorination (using gaseous Cl2)
- Intermediate storage of treated water
- Potable water distribution
- Sludge disposal
- SCADA control system
- Impact: Delivers high-quality drinking water with enhanced treatment capacity, efficient resource use, and optimized operational costs. The plant’s automation ensures reduced manpower, effective chemical consumption, and consistent water quality by significantly benefiting the local community.
