Zulal Water Technology (ZWT) has recently been awarded an Engineering, Procurement, Installation & Commissioning (EPIC) contract by Libya’s Waha Oil Company (WOC) to build a drinking water treatment plant at Dahra Oil Field. The plant will have a design capacity of 900m³/day and an operational capacity of 600m³/day.
The project is highly specialized due to the unique challenges posed by the water at Dahra Field, which has high salinity levels (TDS > 21000ppm) comparable to sea water, as well as high levels of H2S and iron. This requires significant technical expertise and makes the project particularly challenging.
ZWT underwent a competitive procurement process and 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, expressed his team’s confidence in their ability to provide an optimal solution for the unique challenges presented by Dahra well-water despite its difficulty in designing a suitable plant for it. He highlighted ZWT’s 35+ years of experience in completing over 100 water treatment projects in Libya, showcasing their expertise in the field.
