How can a wastewater plant sustainably expand to serve 8 million people?

The world‘s fastest-growing city  demands a world-class wastewater treatment solution. For the Gabar Al Asfal facility, this means rapid  expansion to preserve water quality for more than eight million inhabitants in eastern Cairo. 

Challenge:

Our solution:

A line of nine 3.0 m PPS3000 belt presses for digested sludge dewatering.

Results:

A successful plant expansion meeting all throughput and dryness targets, resulting in a total wastewater treatment capacity of 2.5 million cubic meters per day, serving a population of 8 million people.
