Bluewater Bio to upgrade Tubli plant

UK-based Bluewater Bio said it has secured a contract for the major upgradation of Tubli Reclaimed Water Production Centre in Bahrain.

 As per the deal, Bluewater Bio will act as engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractor and technology supplier to help more than double the plant’s capacity for water reuse.

The Bluewater Bio solution, based on its proprietary Hybacs secondary treatment process, involves the conversion of two of the 10 aeration lanes and four of the 12 clarifiers into a Hybacs plant, by installing 42 smart units upstream of the aeration lanes, said the UK company.
