SITUATION
Sarir Oil Field is approx. 650 km south of Bengasi. The existing sewage plant in Sarir was out of service and redundant, which resulted in the replacement with a ClearFox® containerized plant.
Wastewater from these applications normally has a BOD of approximately 350mg/l and a COD of approximately 700mg/l/
PROBLEM
Remote location, requiring utmost reliability of treatment and quick installation, with minimal construction on site. Ultra high temperature, continual strong winds and sandstorms.
SOLUTION
A wastewater treatment system which is preinstalled in 20ft ISO sea containers, to be shipped internationally and robust to be easily transported by road to any remote or challenging site location.
The system operates automatically without the need for any chemicals or consumables. No specialist operator skills are required to operate the wastewater treatment plant, as it is completely automatic.
Fluctuations in the flow of wastewater due to changing numbers of employees on site are easily and automatically compensated for. Wastewater is cleaned to European standard to permit safe discharge for irrigation and additionally for reuse.
This system is modular and can be adopted to the town growth and changing needs, or can be moved if required, to be used at a different location without problems.
