Sustainable Water Reclamation plant for a new satellite city near Cairo, Egypt.

A new, exclusive satellite city is being built east of Cairo, offering its residents a high quality of life with abundant green spaces and recreational areas. Environmental protection is a key focus, and accordingly the wastewater treatment plant wasdesigned for the sustainable reuse of treated water. The advanced treatment scheme includes biological treatment, tertiary filtration and disinfection. The reclaimed water is directly pumped into a special service water network for irrigation. WABAG has been operating the plants since commissioning.

Project Features:

• Scope:
  • Phase I: DBO/EPC: Design, engineering, equipment supply, installation and commissioning of the plant, as well as its subsequent operational management.
    Phase II: EP + O&M
• Technologies:

• • Mechanical pre-treatment
  • Primary clarification
  • Biological treatment (activated sludge process)
  • Secondary clarification
  • Wastewater filtration(rapid gravity sand filtration)
  • Final disinfection
  • Sludge treatment:- Aerobic digestion- Dewatering (centrifuges)
• Water Reuse: for irrigation & landscape reuse
• Impact: The reclamation plant has a capacity of 80,000 m³/day, which can meet the daily water needs of over 600,000 people. By reusing this water, the plant significantly conserves freshwater resources, reducing the strain on natural water sources. This sustainable approach also minimizes environmental impact by decreasing wastewater discharge into the ecosystem, helping to preserve local water quality and promote eco- friendly urban development.
