Hitachi to Study Dubai’s Sewage Water Quality

Hitachi Plant Technologies has signed a joint development agreement with Dubai Municipality to set up an experimental system to study and improve the quality of the emirate’s sewage water.

Under the terms of agreement, Hitachi will examine the performance of covering a bioreactor system with a removal process of final biological nutrients in order to match the UAE’s future water quality standards.

The company will also study the possibility of purifying processed water and reusing it in cooling plants and other industrial uses.

Hitachi will manufacture and dismantle the experimental station of the Aweer wastewater treatment plant.

Hitachi will own the station and bear all related costs, while Dubai Municipality will run the experimental station, and collect and analyse all research data.
