Al-Shorouk at Green Mountain station turns sewage into energy and water
The article discusses the operation and expansion of the Jabal Al-Asfar Water Treatment Plant in the Khamka area of Qalyubiya Governorate, which serves approximately 12.5 million people. It explains that the plant, which began operations in the 1990s with a current capacity of 2.5 million cubic meters per day, will reach 3.5 million cubic meters daily after the new expansions within four years, at a cost of 400 million euros, making it one of the largest globally. The article details how the treatment process is carried out in stages, including the removal of impurities, sand, and oils, followed by biological treatment using beneficial bacteria, and then the elimination of organic materials. The treated water is then used for irrigating crops over an area of 300 acres, in compliance with health and environmental standards. It also describes how sludge is treated to produce methane gas, which covers 70% of the plant’s electricity needs, as well as other products like fuel or organic fertilizer. An advanced automated control system is employed to monitor faults and ensure operational efficiency. The article concludes by highlighting how these processes contribute to environmental protection and optimal utilization of treated water and sludge.
