PROJECT DETAILS

The management of BARWA Al Khor LLC understands that the main sewer line to facilitate transfer of sewage along the various developing landscape of Al Khor will be taken up by the Al Khor and Al Dakira Municipality under the master plan implementation.  However, considering the implementation time period for the Al Khor Master Plan, the need for the sewage treatment plant at the present facility is seen critical. 

Barwa Al Khor LLC, proposed the package sewage treatment plant (STP) to cater to the need for domestic waste water treatment coming from the present housing development for SHELL, with an expected occupancy of 2100 population.  For design, installation, commission and operation of the package STP, M/S Metitto has been retained by the Project Proponent. 

The capacity of the package STP is 560 m3/ Day.  In the package STP, the various unit operation included Screening, Aeration, Bio Reactor, Clarifications and Disinfection to meet required treated effluent parameters.  The treated sewage effluent will be stored at TSE storage tank and reused for landscaping both within the SHELL housing area and surrounding location within BARWA.  The management clearly understands the requirement of reuse of TSE as no disposal into surface water body is permitted by environmental regulations.

The BARWA Al Khor LLC had retained the services of Qatar Design Consortium (QDC) to carry out the baseline environmental study and prepare an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) study report.  

In order to relate the existing environment with the proposed project activity, it was imperative to carry out detail evaluation of the baseline environmental characteristics including: Ambient air Quality, Noise Level, Soil Quality, Groundwater quality, and Odour.  Applicable regulatory requirements were reviewed and compiled before commencing a structured and detailed baseline studies. Dispersion modelling was done to validate the effectiveness of the OCU.  The AERMOD models were run for both leading pollutants associated with odour i.e ammonia and hydrogen sulphide.
