Oman’s Majis Industrial Services (Majis), has signed two agreements, to boost the company’s wastewater treatment capacity and improve the efficiency of its Reverse Osmosis plant (RO plant) both in terms of costs and reliability.
The project has been awarded to Toshiba Water Solutions. The combined contract value is RO 3.27 million.
First Contract – Rapid Gravity Filter (RGF) project:
The project will handle 83,000 Cu.m/day of seawater as pre-treatment of feed water for Majis’ RO plant at Sohar Industrial Port (SIP).
The project scope of work includes design, construction, testing and commissioning of Rapid Gravity Filter (RGF). The value of the contract is RO 2.8 million.
The project is expected to be commission before the end of 2020.
The project will enable Majis to mitigate disruptions caused by Harmful Algal Bloom (HAB), and to minimize outages, ensuring a reliable and high-quality service to customers.
The project is expected to reduce electricity consumption by 0.25 kwhr/Cu.m of processed water, meaning 30,000Cu.m of water processed per day will use 7,500 kwhr less power, reducing Majis’ carbon footprint.
Second contract- Containerised effluent treatment plant:
The Project scope of Work includes, design, supply, installation, testing & Commissioning of containerised effluent treatment plant with a capacity of 1.2Millions of Liters Per Day (MLD) .
The value of the contract is RO 0.468 million. The project is expected to complete by December 2019.
The containerised plants will treat effluent received from Majis’ industrial customers, to handle growing demand for wastewater treatment at Sohar Port & Freezone.
The project will add treatment and recycling capacity to Majis’ 20MLD plants, which treat sewage and industrial waste.
On completion of the project, Majis will have capacity to receive an additional 1,200 m3 of effluent per day.
