Abu Dhabi's #wastewater authority is searching for opportunities to scale up its Central Asian operations. GWI's editor Thomas Scotney investigates. The Abu Dhabi Sustainable Water Solutions Company (SWS Holding) is aiming to become the first #utility in the region to achieve 100% wastewater reuse levels, after smashing through a key target in 2023. SWS Holding's secured the #WaterReuse Project of the Year award last month for achieving its target of recycling 80% of the wastewater treated by the plants it runs. Achieved in 2023, the target saw significant volumes of water used in agriculture and landscaping now sourced from treated wastewater. This reduced demand for energy-hungry desalinated water supplies and strain on groundwater resources. SWS chief executive Ahmed Al Shamsi told GWI that the transformation is a major driver of the utility’s push to achieve profitability since it was established last year.

Abu Dhabi is set to establish a pioneering facility aimed at reclaiming recyclable materials from municipal solid waste, marking a significant milestone in waste management. Developed by Tadweer Group, the greenfield Material Recovery Facility (MRF) is slated to possess a capacity of 1.3 million metric tonnes annually and will be situated within the Al Mafraq industrial area. Encompassing over 90,000 square meters, it will rank among the largest MRFs in the region. The primary objective of this initiative is to gather municipal waste and extract recyclable resources such as metals, plastics, and other materials. By maximizing waste diversion from landfills through recycling and preparing feedstock for the Abu Dhabi Waste to Energy facility, the project aims to elevate recycling rates, foster a circular economy, and align with the group's goal of diverting 80 percent of Abu Dhabi's waste from landfills by 2030. #Abudhabi #recover #Materials #waste

𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 – 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗶𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲 Clean #water and adequate nutrition are essential for thriving human #societies. However, securing these resources presents significant challenges, especially in rapidly growing metropolises. At Wilo, we're committed to offering innovative solutions to tackle these issues head-on. 🌍 #Toshka Project, #Egypt In Egypt, our products and systems are transforming deserts into arable land. Through the Toshka project, we're using 400 high-efficiency split case pumps to irrigate around one million hectares of desert, helping Egypt secure its food supply. 🌊 #Sebou Project, #Morocco In Morocco, we're contributing to the national water plan by supplying 12 vertical turbine pumps for the Sebou and Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdellah dams. This project aims to ensure the drinking water supply for Rabat and Casablanca, addressing the structural water deficit. 🔍 According to the United Nations World Water Development Report, around 2.4 billion urban residents may face inadequate access to clean water by 2050. Through new technologies and intelligent water management systems, we can mitigate water losses and improve efficiency. Join us in our mission to create sustainable solutions for global water and food security.

🗑♻ Municipal Solid Waste to Alternative Fuel for Cement Plants The first Refuse-Derived Fuel (RDF) plant - emiratesRDF in Umm Al Quwain, #UAE established for converting municipal solid waste to RDF for use by the region’s #cement plants, partially replacing use of #gas and #coal.   The #RDF has a capacity to process 1,000 tons of household waste a day. Solid waste is shredded, sorted and dried to turn it into RDF, which can serve as an alternative, #low_carbon fuel in cement kilns, partially replacing traditional gas and coal. Implementation of this project could divert up to 90% of household waste from landfill sites. Great example of applying #Circular Economy practices as part of public-private partnership (PPP) between the وزارة التغير المناخي والبيئة Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MOCCE) and the emiratesRDF, a joint venture of BESIX, Belgium, the Ajman-based TECH GROUP Eco Single Owner holding company, and Finland-based Griffin Refineries .
