Metito, an international desalination, water and wastewater treatment specialist, has completed an $8.14 million water treatment plant in Nubaria, 60 km south of Alexandria.

Metito managing director Karim Madwar says the project, which provides high purity water for the power plant boilers while the used industrial water is recycled for irrigation purposes, was completed on time and within budget.
Madwar says the Nubaria project included design, fabrication, shop testing, delivery, site installation, testing, commissioning and start-up of a wide range of water and wastewater units for the power plant.
“These included pre-treatment of the Nubaria Canal water (ultimately fed by the Nile River), a range of chemical injection systems, potable water system, high purity demineralised water, neutralisation system, oil/water separation, domestic waste and industrial waste treatment systems for reuse of its effluent for irrigation,” he continues.
Madwar notes the project is the largest industrial water facility of its kind in Egypt.
