For Pure Water, Think WABAG!

Port Said WWTP, Egypt

A state-of-the-art WWTP for Egypt, featuring an advanced and flexible treatment process that enables sustainable Water Reuse.

WABAG successfully executed the Port Said Wastewater Treatment Plant under a Design, Build, Operate (DBO) scheme. The plant is designed to treat municipal wastewater, with a capacity of 40,000 m³/day and a peak flow of 107,000 m³/day using a 3-stage treatment process. The facility supports water reuse for landscaping and irrigation, contributing to sustainable water management in the region.

Project Features:

  • Scope: Design, engineering, supply, installation, start-up supervision and 12 months of Operation & Maintenance (O&M).
  • Treatment Process: The plant was designed to handle varying flow rates efficiently, with multi-stage treatment ensuring effective water reuse.
    • Mechanical Pre-Treatment: Coarse and Fine Screens, Aerated Grit and Grease Removal
    • Biological Treatment: Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) process with extended aeration for aerobic sludge stabilization.
    • Tertiary Treatment: Disc filtration.
    • Disinfection by Chlorination.
    • Sludge Treatment: Thickening and Drying
  • Impact: The Port Said WWTP enhances local water management practices by providing treated wastewater suitable for landscaping and irrigation, thereby supporting sustainable development in Port Said and protecting natural water resources.
