 Project Site: Project Key Features:
• The Project scope includes provision of a TPS,
the Wakra STW and TSE management facilities.

• The STW will have capacity to treat average

flows of 150,000 cubic meters per day. Flows to
the STW will be guaranteed by Ashghal.

• Ashghal plans to develop the Network

separately (outside of the scope of this Project)
through an EPC contract.

• The Network will be completed prior to 2024

to gravitate the flows to the STW from the
respective catchments.

• The PPP Project is expected to have a

Commercial Operations Date of June 2024.

Key elements of the proposed Project Scope are listed below:

1. Terminal Pump Station (“TPS”), including an odour control facility (“OCF”) for the TPS
and Main Trunk Sewer (“MTS-03”)

2. Sewage Treatment Works (“STW”) with an average capacity of 150,000 m3/day,

including primary, secondary and tertiary treatment units, sludge treatment and
management facilities and odour control units

3. Treated Sewage Effluent management facilities (“TSE Facilities”)

The components above will produce Treated Sewage Effluent (“TSE”) and treated sludge that
can be disposed of in a landfill, used as fertiliser, dried or incinerated as needed.

The diagram below provides a general schematic for the
scope of the Project
• The TPS will receive raw sewage influent conveyed
by gravity through MTS-03 from the connected
catchments.
• TPS has two shafts: Future
a. Screen Shaft Pump
Shaft
• Receives an average flow of 600,000 cubic
metres per day with a peak factor of 2 Flows Screen
from Shaft
• Screen Shaft comprises coarse screens to MTS-03
separate large objects and screens are
disposed via skips Pump
Shaft To the STW
• Pump Shaft
• Receives sewage from screen shaft and
pumps sewage to the STW, with an average Odour Control Facility for the TPS and
flow of 150,000 cubic metres per day with a MTS-03
peak factor of 2.
• Odour Control Facility
• Serving both the TPS and MTS-03

digestors, dewatering, drying and incineration facilities.
• The process shall also have facilities to recover electricity and heat at various points along the
solids process train.

• The primary TSE management mechanism is deep well injections from TSE storage tanks on
site.
• In the event of emergencies, the flows through the STW and downstream TSE network will
be managed with TSE balancing lagoons and as well as pumping off-spec TSE back through
the STW treatment process.
