The Southern Riyadh Wastewater Treatment Plant has been designed to treat an average daily flow of 200,000 m3/d. Due to the large plant capacity, the process design technology has been based on an oxidation ditch activated sludge process in order to achieve two difficult goals; reduction of oxygenation power and production of high quality treated effluent.
The unique process features provide high nitrogen removal resulting from the biological nitrification and de-nitrification biological reactions that take place in the same reactor of carbonaceous BOD removal. A pioneer industrial wastewater treatment plant has also been recently commissioned. This project belongs to Al Marai
Dairy and deals with the treatment of the industrial dairy wastewater. State-ofthe-art technology has been used in this project through adopting the Membrane Bio Reactor (MBR) Technology.
This project is the first of its kind in the Middle East Region and gains special attention as it will be a good reference for experts to learn about the importance of the MBR technology and its performance in the region. Samer K. Mazloum, Business Development Manager, announced that the company will launch a new range of
products by the beginning of 2006 which will be manufactured and fabricated at its 15,000 m2 manufacturing facility.
The company is also expanding its laboratories for water and wastewater testing in order to integrate additional elements in the field of water industry. The company’s headquarters is based in
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with branches in Jeddah, Al Khobar, and Al Qassim. The Company’s Overseas expansion plan has been established in Dubai, Doha, and Baghdad with future expansion plans for
North Africa.
