Identified Programs and Projects Title & LinkAuthors & SponsorsDateRemarks Bahr El Bakar Waste Water Treatment Facility Another linkClient: Department of Military Works – Engineering Authority of the Armed ForcesContractors: Orascom and Arab ContractorsConsultant: Khatib & Alami2019The EGP 18 bn Bahr El Baqar wastewater treatment plant is the largest facility of its kind in the world, treating around 5 mn cubic meters of water from the Bahr El Baqar basin every day. The 155-feddan facility has four treatment lines, each with the capacity to process 1.25 mn cbm of water each day.Gabel El-Asfar wastewater treatment plantAnother linkESIAFunded by: African Development Bank2021The Gabel El-Asfar plant is the first of its kind and largest such facility in the Middle East and Africa region, and one of the largest worldwide. The plant is already boosting livelihoods, improving the environment, quality of life and health of millions of residents.Upgrading and Expanding of Abu-Rawash Wastewater Treatment PlantFunded by: African Development Bank2017The Project aims at upgrading and extending the capacity of the existing Abu-Rawash Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) from primary treatment of 1.2 million cubic meters per day (m3/day) to a secondary treatment of 1.6 million m3/day.Water and Wastewater Management ProgrammeCommissioned by: German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ)Lead executing agency: Ministry of Agriculture and Land Reclamation, MALR; Ministry for Housing, Utilities and Urban Communities, MoHUUCImplementing Agency: GIZ2019-2021To improve water supply and wastewater management, the project cooperates with the Holding Company for Water and Wastewater and its subordinate companies throughout the country. Here, too, there are plans to reduce water losses. It is also planned that charges for major customers will increase, energy will be saved and sewage sludge used to generate powerIWSP (Integrated Water and Wastewater Services Programme)Funded by: European Investment Bank2008This project includes (i) capital investments to rehabilitate, upgrade or install new infrastructure (water treatment plants, waste water treatment plants and water and sewer networks) as well as (ii) accompanying measures to strengthen the institutional capacity in the sector. 6. Resource Efficiency Related Work Title & LinkAuthors & SponsorsDateRemarks GABAL EL-ASFAR WASTEWATER TREATEMENT PLANT – STAGE II PHASE II PROJECT COUNTRY: EGYPTFunded by: ADB , AFD , and GOE2010-2014The project will have a direct positive impact on its beneficiaries largely through improved water quality in the drainage system, including Lake Manzala and eventually the Mediterranean Sea. Some of this water is used for agriculture while the rest ends up in the Lake, where fishing is a major source of income for those living along its shores. Reduction of pollution in the Mediterranean Sea, the eventual destination of the effluent will also promote improved tourism in the country by providing clean environment.Wastewater: From Waste to ResourceStudy Report Funded by: WATER GLOBAL PRACTICE,International Bank for Reconstruction and Development / The World Bank2018Treated wastewater reused for irrigation Sludge is sold to cement industry—extra revenue stream— and could potentially be used as a fertilizer in agriculture.The wastewater treatment technology depends on Line of water with four lines of treatment in pretreatment and primary decantation, six lines in activated sludge treatment, 10 lines in tertiary treatment (micro-screening), and chlorine disinfection. Line of sludge with: six lines of thickening (three for primary sludge and three for secondary sludge), four lines of anaerobic digestion, and eight lines of dewatering.Preliminary & Detailed Design of Wastewater Treatment Plants – Damietta GovernorateFunded by: KFW, EIB, AfD, EU2015-2018The resource efficiency of this study is focused on how to integrate the eco-designing to ensure the effective uses of resources.Wastewater facility construction of New Cairo PPP WWTPFunded by: Construction Authority for Potable Water and Wastewater (CAPW)2013-2027Chemonics Egypt Consultants was awarded two (2) contracts with both CAPW representing NUCA in this contract and Orasqualia (THE PROJECT COMPANY) to provide independent consultancy services during the periods of Construction and operating and maintaining the new WWTP.
