Project Highlights
This project is part of the Directorate’s initiative to construct and put into operation a
new potable water treatment plant with an ultimate effluent capacity of 50,000 m3/
day. This plant is an expansion of the existing Maraba Water treatment plant.
The water plant’s raw water comes in from the Baysh, Maraba and Itwed dams. The
limited available footprint means that a new design concept was developed, utilizing
pre-engineered high hydraulic loading calcification system with a reverse osmosis
membrane system for desalination. The plant has several main treatment units. These
include pipe work from existing incoming pipelines from the WadiBaysh, Maraba
and Itwid dams; coarse and fine screening; a raw water lift station; a distribution
chamber; membrane cleaning system; chemical dosing for the RO plant; a blending
tank; product transfer pumps; a brine pumping station; and a chlorinating building.
It also has eight clarification packages (include coagulation, micro-sand injection,
flocculation, lamella settler, sand return pumps and hydro cyclones); four inter-stage
tanks; six inter stage pumps; Ten horizontal pressure filters with backwash pumps and
air scouring blowers; a backwash tank; and Ten reverse osmosis trains (each train has
micron filters, RO high pressure pumps and two stages RO skids).
