Kazakistan

Kazakhstan:

• Caspian Sea off-shore and on-shore oil fields
• Tengiz, Kashagan, Karachaganak high volume produced water
• Aktau, Atyrau coastal cities seawater desalination demand
• City sewage infrastructure is being renewed
• Mining (uranium, gold, copper) wastewater management

Regulatory authorities in Kazakhstan: Ministry of Ecology, Geology and Natural Resources environmental regulation and discharge limits. Kazvodokhoz state water company. KazMunayGas (KMG) oil-gas sector standards. Tengizchevroil (TCO) and NCOC (Kashagan operator) vendor pre-qualification processes. Foreign suppliers may require Russian/Kazakh documentation and EAEU (Eurasian Economic Union) compliance.

• Atırau — Kashagan, Tengiz oil gateway

Turnkey projects from Turkey in Kazakhstan:

1. Field data acquisition + engineering design
2. Manufacturing in Turkey (insulated options for cold climates)
3. Shipping (Trans-Caspian ferry or transit through Russia)
4. On-site assembly + training in Russian/Kazakh
5. Commissioning + long-term service contract

Operation in Kazakhstan:

• Shipping options:
• Trans-Caspian: Baku-Aktau ferry 10-14 days
• Russia transit: Turkey-Russia-Kazakhstan land route 12-15 days
• Customs: EAEU/CU TR certification (TR CU 010/2011 machinery safety)
• Installation team: Turkish + Russian-speaking project manager
• Cold climate preparation: equipment and pipe insulation for -30°C

Recommendations for Kazakhstan conditions:

• Oil fields (Tengiz/Kashagan): API separator + IAF + biological MBR; produced water ion exchange for dissolved solids
• Mining: Neutralization + heavy metal precipitation + lamella precipitation
• Municipal (Astana, Almaty): Cold climate biological treatment + advanced N-P (winter temperature below 5°C is considered)
• Aktau/Atırau: Special BWRO/SWRO for Caspian water
• Mining camp: Containerized package MBR (insulated for cold)

We offer technology proposals tailored to the needs in every region we serve. Our turnkey solutions are determined based on the scale of the project, flow rate, and characteristics of the wastewater. Additionally, the client's energy efficiency and operational cost targets play a decisive role in technology selection.

Recommended technologies and application areas:

• MBR (Membrane Bioreactor) — A compact solution for hotels, hospitals, and coastal resorts; preferred in projects requiring irrigation purposes for reuse.
• MBBR (Moving Bed Biofilm) — A resilient solution for capacity increase in existing facilities and variable flow conditions.
• Package Treatment Systems — Modular ready systems for small settlements, factory campuses, and sites requiring rapid installation.
• Advanced Biological Treatment (N-P removal) — Nitrogen and phosphorus removal for municipalities discharging into sensitive water areas.
• RO + UF Membrane Systems — For drinking water, seawater desalination, and industrial process water applications.

In addition, UV disinfection, ozonation, and chlorination as final stage processes are also integrated based on the project. As a result, we provide proven solutions based on our 25 years of engineering experience to each client, referencing our reference projects.
