As part of the Facility for Infrastructure Development (ORIO programme) in developing countries financed by the Dutch Government, the EUR9.5 million (US$10.9 million) project will deliver sanitation to residents and industries whose wastewater is currently discharged untreated, resulting in severe pollution.
A sewage plant will be built using the company’s bio-technology which is used in some 1,500 wastewater treatment plants around the world.
It would have a capacity of almost 30,000 cu.m a day, the company said.
The company will also build four pumping stations, install 100km of pipes and connect 15,000 households and over 1,000 small- and medium-sized enterprises.
During the operation and maintenance phase, it will provide technical assistance and training to BUSADCO workers.
