Head of Treatment Plants and TSE Network Projects Section in the Drainage Networks Projects Department at Ashghal, Eng. Abdulrahman Mohammed Al Sulaiti expressed that the Industrial Area Sewage Treatment Plant Third Expansion Project in Doha was a part of Ashghal’s plan in implementing a series of expansions for the sewage treatment plant within the Industrial Area.
One of the key aims of the project is to keep up with the remarkable increase in the overall population and urban growth, especially in the industrial area and its infrastructure(s). Ashghal’s plan still includes another implementation of an additional expansion, if needed. If implemented the additional expansion will increase the plant’s capacity to reach 120,000 m3 per day.
The Industrial Area Sewage Treatment Plant Third Expansion Project Manager, Eng. Nayif Abdulghani Alkathiri explained that the sewage treatment plant makes use of advanced treatment techniques in the production of treated water that matches the highest international standards.
He added that the sewage water will be treated with ultrafiltration system(s), disc filters, UV treatment system, and additional technologies. These methods are aimed at ensuring the production of high-quality treated water with the least amount of human intervention.
