MACC has completed commissioning of the 60,000 m³/day Central Gaza Wastewater Treatment Plant at Buriej, built for CMWU under Contract 1 of the KfW-funded Gaza Central Wastewater Project; operation and maintenance will follow.
In February 2020 MACC completed the commissioning phase of the Central Gaza Wastewater Treatment Plant (GCWWTP) at Buriej. The plant now moves towards taking over and the operation and maintenance phase.
The plant was built under Contract 1 of the KfW-funded Gaza Central Wastewater Project for the Coastal Municipalities Water Utility, supervised by Dorsch International Consultants. Phase 1 treats 60,000 m³/day, with a peak of 5,000 m³/h, by conventional activated sludge: screening and aerated grit removal, primary clarifiers, four aeration tanks, four final settlement tanks, gravity thickeners, anaerobic digesters with biogas CHP generators and belt-press dewatering.
Commissioning covered the process units, the 22 kV GEDCO power connection with transformer station and standby generator, and the SCADA monitoring system. The site is designed to expand to 180,000 m³/day in future phases.
