Al Haer ISTP will be developed on a build, own, operate (BOOT) model with a treatment capacity of 200,000 cubic metres per day (m3/day). The plant will also include Treated Sewage Effluent (TSE) facilities, consisting of a nearly 32 km-long TSE transmission system with a capacity of 400,000 m3/day, a TSE pumping station, and TSE storage tanks with a capacity of 200,000 m3. The plant is expected to start operations in December 2026, the statement said, adding that the positive financial impact of the project will be reflected on Miahonas financials starting from the first quarter of 2025. |
