Water Treatment Project in Saudi Arabia
1. Client Challenge
- Project Background: The project addressed wastewater treatment for an industrial facility in Saudi Arabia, a region facing significant water scarcity and environmental pressures.
- Wastewater Characteristics: The effluent contained high chemical oxygen demand (COD) around 1200 mg/L, along with organic pollutants and heavy metals, requiring robust treatment.
- Regulatory Demands: The client needed to comply with Saudi Arabia’s strict water reuse and discharge standards, aligned with Vision 2030 sustainability goals.
- Operational Constraints: A reliable, large-scale solution was essential to manage wastewater in a desert climate with limited water resources.

2. Solution
- Integrated Approach: The project relied on our activated carbon as a core component, combined with supporting technologies to treat wastewater effectively in Saudi Arabia.
- Activated Carbon Application: We provided high-performance activated carbon, optimized with a high iodine value, to adsorb organic pollutants and reduce COD levels efficiently.
- Supporting Technology: Membrane filtration was integrated to remove suspended solids, complementing our carbon to ensure comprehensive purification.
- Technical Expertise: Our team offered guidance on carbon deployment, adapting the solution to the region’s high-temperature and arid conditions.
- Capacity Design: The system was engineered to handle the client’s wastewater volume, with our activated carbon ensuring consistent contaminant removal.

3. Results and Outcomes
- Pollutant Reduction: Our activated carbon achieved over 95% COD reduction, lowering levels from 1200 mg/L to below 60 mg/L, with significant heavy metal removal.
- Compliance Achievement: The treated water, enhanced by our carbon, met Saudi Arabia’s reuse standards, supporting sustainable water management.
- Cost Efficiency: The system, supported by our durable activated carbon, reduced treatment costs by approximately 30% due to efficient operation.
- Client Satisfaction: The client recognized the reliability of our activated carbon, leading to plans for expanded use in other Saudi facilities.
