WaterWorld | By Tom Freyberg | GPE – November 12, 2017:
German engineering company Bauer Nimr will expand the world’s largest constructed wetland as part of a contract with oil and gas company Petroleum Development Oman (PDO). Originally completed in 2011, the project was expanded in 2014 to 115,000 m3/day but this latest expansion will take the capacity to 175,000 m3/day.
Originally published November 08, 2017: Bauer Nimr will design, construct and operate the site until 2044, which includes a 25-year operational period following construction completion slated for the end of 2019.
The treatment includes gravity-flow and natural processes to reduce heavy hydrocarbon loads from the industrial wastewater down to below 0.5 parts per million.
Around 95 percent of crude oil entering the facility is estimated to be recovered by the process, without the need for additional chemicals.
