Independent Sewage Treatment Plants

Independent water treatment plants process wastewater independently of public water mains. These plants process influent wastewater and purify it by circulating air to encourage the growth of natural bacteria that removes harmful chemicals and materials. The influent waste can then be released back into the environment, with significantly less harm being done to the environment.
Independent water treatment plants can also be a vital source of environmentally friendly green energy, particularly for communities and regions poorly connected by existing water treatment infrastructure. These independent water treatment plants produce safe and environmentally friendly water, which can be used locally for irrigation or released safely back into the environment, making them a vitally important source of water capture and reuse – a major ambition for GCC countries and the crux of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 planning.
Independent water treatment plants also produce sludge, which can be burnt to produce biogas – a renewable form of green energy. And with such plants typically only using a small amount of electricity, if it all, to run, these plants can be easily powered by renewably sourced energy.
The Taif treatment plant can process 100,000 cubic meters of influent daily. And, thanks to a cutting-edge biomass cogeneration system which utilizes naturally generated sludge, the plant can generate up to 30% of its own power needs simply through its own by-product. The purified water is then released as effluent and used to irrigate a 21-hectare green space around the plant.
