Synopsis
The Sulaibiya Wastewater Treatment and Reclamation Project (WWT&RP)is intended to resolve two problems: The existing Ardiya WWTP is no longer able to treat the increasing amount of wastewater and cannot be extended at its location.

The brackish water resources are no longer sufficient to cover the increasing non-potable water demand. To resolve these two problems by means of one plant, the objective of the new Sulaibiya WWT&RP is to treat the wastewater to such an extent that it could be used for unrestricted non-potable Purposes.

The Sulaibiya WWT&RP consists of the following major components:
  • The Ardiya Pre-treatment Plant receives the wastewater, removes screenings, oil and grease as well as grift, and balance the fluctuating inflow
  • The Main Feed Pipeline transports the pre-treated wastewater to Sulaibiya
  • The Sulaibiya Treatment Plant treats the water to meet the high effluent standards, and to produce water of a quality meeting WHOs potable water standards
  • The Product Water Pipeline transports the produced water to the locations for reuse
  • The Overflow/Brine Pipeline leads the brine and the overflows back to the sea.
The capacity of the Sulaibiya WWT&RP (375,000 m³/day with the option to be extended to 600,000 m³/day) makes the project by far the largest of its type in the world. Approximately 85% of the inflowing wastewater will be reclaimed for reuse and 15% sent back to the sea as brine.

In 2001, the Government of Kuwait awarded a consortium led by the Kharafi group of Kuwait the BOT concession to finance, design, build and operate the Project. After 30 years the project will be returned to the government. Construction started in July 2002 and will be completed by the end of 2004. The paper describes the technical solutions and considerations chosen for this challenging project and shows its economical feasibility and its effect on the Water Balance of Kuwait.
