INVEST’s mixing, aeration systems treat Qatar’s wastewater

Water and wastewater treatment company INVEST announced that its HYPERCLASSIC^® systems are being used in Qatar’s wastewater treatment plant.

Now more than ever, Qatar is in the public eye as the host of the 2022 FIFA World Cup. The capital of Doha and the neighboring city of Al Rayyān in particular is right now playing host to sports-loving businesspeople, media representatives, and private individuals from all over the world. More than one-third of the 2.8 million inhabitants of the desert state live in the city of Doha. Residents and guests need food and in particular water for drinking and domestic use. This is a challenge in the dry, hot climate of the Persian Gulf.

The city planners are prepared for this. The vast majority of the freshwater is sourced from seawater desalination plants. This is then pumped into the water circulation system and used for human consumption or agriculture.

The largest treatment plant in the country is currently the Doha West wastewater treatment plant. Since it was put into operation in 2009, the plant has been expanded several times and is now able to treat an average of 280,000 cubic meters of water each day. Slightly more than 50 percent of the treated wastewater is used for agriculture and around 40 percent is used to water green spaces in the city. The rest is fed into the ground to raise the groundwater level.

To ensure that the plant works smoothly, the client chose technology from Germany –INVENT. The plant uses 48 HYPERCLASSIC-Mixing and Aeration Systems and 24  HYPERCLASSIC-Mixers in various tanks each day.

Once the World Cup is over and the next large event is being planned, the HYPERCLASSIC systems will continue to turn.
