The expansion of the Sewage Treatment Plant is an attempt to keep up with the increasing demands of the wastewater service as a result of the remarkable urbanisation in Muscat

MUSCAT: Haya Water celebrated the completion of Phase II of the Al Ansab Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) expansion moving to the last and the third phase, which is expected to be finished in 2022. The expansion of the STP is an attempt to keep up with the increasing demands of the wastewater service as a result of the remarkable urbanisation in Muscat.

Eng Khalid bin Hassan Al Lawati, Acting Projects general manager at Haya Water announced at the launching ceremony which held at the Crown Plaza, Madinat Al Irfan that the plant is equipped with state of art technology which is the membrane reactors technology known as MBR.

This plant is considered to be one of the largest in the world that operates using this technology. Furthermore, the project was completed three million hours without lost time injuries.

He added that the capacity of Al Ansab STP after Phase II reaches 125,000 cubic meters per day.

Eng. Khalid Hassan Al-Lawati confirmed that the actual operation of this STP has already started and its quality is very high. He also assured that this station’s capacity is sufficient to absorb the wastewater that comes through the connected networks to the STP or through the yellow tankers which no longer have to wait to offload the wastewater.

It is worth mentioning that the plant, which was built and operated in 2010 accommodated 57,300 cubic metres per day and the capacity of the Al Ansab Plant, will increase to 140,000 cubic meters per day after the completion of phase III by the end of 2022.
