Project Details
About the Basra Wastewater Treatment Plant Project

This wastewater treatment plant project in Basra, Iraq, for the Al-Zubair Slaughterhouse has a capacity of 100 m³ / Day. The project will be completed as a turnkey solution in 2024. Additionally, the design, equipment procurement, installation, and commissioning processes have been carried out by our company. This ensures a coordinated and error-free delivery to the customer.
Technical Specifications and Capacity
The basic technical parameters of the project are summarized in the table below. This information provides an overview of the project's scope, engineering requirements, and delivery process at a glance.
Applied Wastewater Treatment Plant Technology
The industrial wastewater treatment plant targets a sector-specific composition. A multi-barrier approach is utilized. This approach includes pre-treatment, primary, biological, and advanced treatment stages. As a result, the effluent meets discharge limits.
Wastewater Characteristics of the Slaughterhouse Sector
Slaughterhouse wastewater contains high levels of blood, fats, oils, and grease (FOG) and organic load. The KOİ values typically range from 3,000 to 8,000 mg/L. Additionally, nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations are also high. DAF (Dissolved Air Flotation) pre-treatment is essential in this sector. Subsequently, high-efficiency treatment is achieved through biological processes.
Project Scope and Workflow
During the project, the following steps were carried out by our company. Thus, the turnkey delivery process was completed smoothly.
- Wastewater characterization analysis and sample examination
- Process design and engineering calculations
- Mechanical, electrical, and automation documentation
- Equipment procurement and factory acceptance tests
- On-site installation and hydraulic tests
- Biological adaptation and commissioning
- Operator training and delivery of technical documentation
- SKKY compliance tests and official reporting
Conclusion and Reference Value
At the end of the project, the effluent was produced at a quality that meets the SKKY (Water Pollution Control Regulation) discharge standards. Additionally, the facility is equipped with a modern automation infrastructure. This maximizes operational continuity and energy efficiency.
