Spain\u2019s Acciona and local partners Tawzea and Tamasuk have begun<\/strong> commercial operations at the Madinah 3, Buraydah 2, and Tabuk 2 sewage treatment plants<\/strong>, according to a press release<\/a>. The companies will manage operations and maintenance<\/a> for the plants for 25-year period. <\/p>\n

IN CONTEXT- <\/strong>The plants were first awarded in 2021<\/a> by the state-owned Saudi Water Partnership Company under contracts valued at around USD 1 bn, with Acciona taking on responsibility for financing, designing, engineering, construction, and long-term operation. Financial close followed in 2022, backed by the company\u2019s first green loan<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The plants: <\/strong>Madinah 3<\/a>, the largest, has an initial treatment capacity of 200k cbm \/ d \u2014 expandable to 375k cbm \/ d \u2014 and will serve up to 1.5 mn residents. Buraydah 2 adds 150k cbm\/d of capacity for some 600k people, while Tabuk 2 provides 90k cbm for around 350k inhabitants. The three facilities each incorporate pretreatment installations, biological reactors, and sludge lines. Together they add 440k cbm\/d of new wastewater treatment capacity. <\/p>\n

Beyond treatment<\/strong>, the projects include major water reuse infrastructure. Acciona built more than 85 km<\/a> of recycled water collectors, storage tanks and pumping stations, to channel reclaimed water into agriculture. About 95% of the treated wastewater will go to irrigation, with daily reuse volumes estimated at 190k cbm from Madinah 3, 142.5k cbm from Buraydah 2, and 85.5k from Tabuk 2. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
