DOHA: A project of the Public Works Authority (Ashghal) “the second expansion of the Doha South Sewage Treatment Works” won the MEED Quality Award 2016, in the energy and water field.
The project was completed at the beginning of this year. It is a very important treatment plant in the country, with a capacity to treat 241 million litres of sewage water per day. The plant features advanced techniques such as Ultra Filtration, which produces high quality treated water that exceeds the standard set for the quality of water, and which is pumped through treated water networks to be used for irrigation and cooling purposes. The plant is also run by advanced systems and electronic programmes with minimum technical intervention by engineers and workers.
The plant receives raw sewage from the various pumping stations in Doha city, where it enters the primary treatment facilities stage which removes stones and solid materials. After primary treatment, secondary biological treatment is conducted, which includes a number of stages and technologies which are implemented to purify the water to reach the stage of ultra-filtration using membrane technology, which produces high-quality treated water.
The second phase of expansion implemented at the plant included the construction of three electricity substations, six pump houses, one storm water lagoon and one treated sewage effluent (TSE) Lagoon. Water treatment operations are run through a network of 15 km plant piping.
The project contractor, “Larson and Tubro” and “Galfar Al Misnad” Joint Venture were awarded in a function organized by the Ashghal to celebrate the achievement. Khaled Saif Al Khayarein, Manager of Drainage Networks Project Department in Ashghal attended the awarding ceremony.
