Toshiba subsidiary wins RO 12.3 million Sohar Port water treatment contract
UEM India Private Limited (UEM), a water services company of Toshiba Group in India, has announced it has won a Design, Build and Operate (DBO) contract governing the establishment of a major wastewater treatment and recycling plant at Sohar.
The contract has been awarded by Majis Industrial Services SAOC (MISC), an Omani-government owned corporation and provider of water utility services at Sohar Industrial Port Area. It covers the DBO of Phase 2 of the Central Effluent Treatment and Recycle Project in the port area. The contract value of RO 12.3 million also includes the construction of a 10,000-cubic metres/day capacity effluent treatment plant.
UEM provides customers with competitive DBO solutions and fully integrated engineering, procurement and construction services (EPC) for wastewater treatment and recycling. The company has already demonstrated its capabilities at Sohar with the implementation of Phase 1 of the Central Effluent Treatment and Recycle Project.
The company received the order for this facility, now under construction, and is deploying high level purifying treatment technology and facilities utilising an ultrafiltration membrane, reverse osmosis membrane and ion-exchange resin filtration system, all used in water treatment facilities in Japan. UEM will also operate and maintain the facility for the first 10 years of operation. The project is scheduled to come into operation in March 2018.
Koichi Matsui, Chairperson and Managing Director, UEM said, "I am sure that MISC's choice of UEM for Phase 2 reflects our accomplishments in Oman and our capabilities in integrating engineering. Toshiba's acquisition of UEM last September has been good for both companies, as it has enhanced cooperation and sharing of technologies and know-how. We will contribute to Oman's industrial growth through the Sohar project and positively seek participation in future projects."
