The project is being financed by the Government of the United Republic of Tanzania in collaboration with World Bank.
WD News: Dar Es Salaam Water Supply and Sanitation Authority (DAWASA) has awarded Metito the contract to design, build and operate a new wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) in Dar es Salaam region, Tanzania. The project is expected to reduce environmental pollution through safe treatment of wastewater.
The 16,000 m3/day wastewater treatment plant will have state-of-the-art engineering and technologies to enhance operational and maintenance costs, improve sludge quality, and minimise the overall carbon footprint.
The scope of work under the contract involves three years of Operation and Maintenance (O&M) for the wastewater treatment plant with full participation of DAWASA staff members in all operational sections of treatment plant. Metito will utilise conventional activated sludge technology and implement anaerobic digestors to produce biogas followed by Combined Heat and Power (CHP) generation system which will reduce electric power consumption by almost 40% at ultimate plant capacity. It will also use sludge anaerobic digestion process in the first treatment phase to ensure the sludge is stabilised and the quality of the sludge is maintained.
Commenting on it, Karim Madwar, Managing Director of Metito Africa said, “The project is a true milestone towards modernising Dar es Salaam’s wastewater system and bolstering the resilience of its water infrastructure.”
“Access to water and sanitation in Tanzania can transform the economic outlook in Dar es Salaam and propel its social development and sustainable growth,” Kiula Kingu, Acting CEO for Dar Es Salaam Water Supply and Sanitation Authority added.
