Xylem Inc., a leading global water technology company focused on addressing the challenging water issues, has won a major contract valued at more than $8 million USD to develop and supply customized technologies to a wastewater treatment and reclamation plant in Sulaibiya, Kuwait.
The expanded facility will serve the growing irrigation needs of the southern and western Kuwait catchment areas, treating 600,000 cubic meters of wastewater per day, using ultra filtration (UF) and reverse osmosis (RO) as tertiary treatment and polishing stages.
"We are delighted to be playing a key role in the expansion of what will be one of the largest water reclamation plants of its kind in the world," said Vincent Chirouze, regional director for Xylem’s Middle East and Africa region, "In conjunction with Kharafi National, the project contractor, our optimized solution during secondary treatment will help create an efficient and effective system that will deliver clean reusable water to this arid, water-challenged region."
Xylem will supply highly efficient and reliable treatment technologies for use during secondary treatment at the plant, including the company’s Sanitaire fine bubble aeration technologies, Flygt ultra low-head pumps and low-speed mixers, aeration blowers, stainless steel air mains and Flygt Jet aerators in the aerobic digesters.
