Palm Water LLC announced on Sept 25, 2006 that it has been awarded a Dh1 billion contract by the master developer Nakheel to design, build, own and operate (DBOO) a sewage treatment plant as well as sewage and irrigation networks that service the latter’s prestigious development at International City, Dubai. As part of the award, Palm Water LLC will be granted a 30-year concession to provide both sewage and irrigation services on behalf of Nakheel.
Elaborating on the contract, Robert M. (Bob) Bryniak, CEO, Palm Water, said, “We are very pleased to have been awarded this important contract. It represents one of the first contracts awarded in the sewerage business to a privately owned company in Dubai on a DBOO basis.”
The sewage treatment plant – set to be among the largest Membrane BioReactor (MBR) -based plants in the Middle East, is expected to have a capacity to treat about 110,000 m3 of sewage each day – nearly the same amount of high quality irrigation water.
