Zulal Water Technology (ZWT) is thrilled to announce that they have been awarded an Engineering, Procurement, Installation & Commissioning (EPIC) contract by Libya’s Waha Oil Company (WOC) to construct a drinking water treatment plant at the Dahra Oil Field. The plant will have a design capacity of 900m³/day and an operational capacity of 600m³/day.
The project is particularly challenging due to the high salinity levels (TDS > 21000ppm) comparable to sea water, as well as high levels of H2S and iron in the water at Dahra Field. This makes the project highly specialized and requires significant technical expertise.
ZWT successfully underwent a competitive procurement process and passed a detailed technical evaluation by Waha before being awarded the contract. The project will be completed on a full turnkey basis, including pre-treatment, H2S degassing, iron and colloids removal, RO desalination, post-treatment, and the supply of dosing chemicals.
Iftikhar ul Haq, Director of ZWT, emphasized the difficulty of designing a suitable plant for the unique challenges of Dahra well-water but expressed confidence in their team’s ability to provide an optimal solution. ZWT highlighted their 35+ years of experience in completing over 100 water treatment projects in Libya, showcasing their expertise in the field.
