WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT FOR THE CITY OF BEN GUERDANE AND TRANSFER SYSTEMS FOR RAW AND TREATED WASTEWATER

Tunisia

Project

The project involves the construction of the wastewater treatment plant for the city of Ben Guerdane and the transfer systems for raw and treated wastewater. The plant comprises a water treatment line and a sludge treatment line: The effluent line comprises: 

  • 2 circular grit chambers 
  • 2 aeration tanks, 
  • 2 secondary clarifiers 

The sludge line comprises: 

  • Sludge pumping station 
  • 1 scraped and raked thickener 
  • 12 drying beds 

This is a plant with a daily flow rate of 5,200 m³/day and a BOD₅ pollutant load of 2,720 kg/day, equivalent to approximately 50,370 population equivalents. The treatment process is low-load activated sludge with ‘extended aeration’ The main components of the plant are: 2 circular grit chambers, 2 aeration tanks, 2 secondary clarifiers, 1 thickener, 12 drying beds, a sludge return station using an Archimedes screw, sand filters and a UV treatment unit. 

For the raw wastewater transfer system, this involves the installation of 6 km of HDPE DN 500 pipework, along with the construction of a pumping station with a capacity of 150 L/s.
