A Tech Wabag (Wabag), a leading Indian group specialising in the water sector, said it has been signed up as the process and technology contractor by Sepco III Electric Power Construction Corporation (Sepco III) for a 20 MLD industrial wastewater treatment plant at Ras Tanura refinery complex in Saudi Arabia.

Announcing the $33.5-million contract win, Wabag said its scope of work includes design, engineering, procurement, supply and supervision of installation and commissioning of the wastewater plant to treat a complex cocktail of effluents from the desalter effluent, tank farms and other oily wastewater sumps in the refinery.

The plant is being constructed by Sepco III and developed by Miahona, a leading PPP developer and operator of water and wastewater projects in the kingdom for its off-taker Saudi Aramco, one of the world’s largest integrated oil and gas companies.
