KEZAD + SWS to cooperate on water treatment plant: AD Ports Group subsidiaryKhalifa Economic Zones Abu Dhabi (KEZAD) and Abu Dhabi-based water solutions firm Sustainable Water Solutions Holding Company (SWS) are collaborating on the development and operation of a pilot polished water plant, and distributing polished water to industries in KEZAD Musaffah, according to a press release. The statement does not disclose a timeline for the construction and operations of the plant, and does not mention the value of investments for the planned plant.

SOUND SMART-Polished water refers to water that is filtered and treated through the Treated Sewerage Effluent (TSE), which removes additional impurities and contaminants and makes it suitable for industrial use.

What we know: The polishing plant will treat some 20k cubic meters of water daily through TSE. KEZAD and SWS will jointly supervise its development and operations, and conduct a series of feasibility studies and technical site visits, according to the statement. The polished water will be distributed to industries in one of KEZAD’s zones — KEZAD Mussafah — eliminating the need for companies based inside the zone to seek external water suppliers.

About SWS:Established in 2005, SWS is a sustainable water solutions company that provides innovative solutions to manage water resources. It became part of Abu Dhabi Holding Company (ADQ) in 2019. The company operates several sewage treatment plants across the UAE.
