How we convert wastewater into a valuable resource
Almost, half of the world wastewater released to the environment untreated. This untreated wastewater is polluting our environment, contaminating our water resources, and damaging our aquatic life. If we treat and recycle, this amount of sewage could be a resource of water enough to meet 25% of the global domestic water demand.
The centralized wastewater treatment approach is adopted in the urban area of Saudi Arabia. However, only 60% of the area covered by the existing wastewater network in Saudi Arabia. The development is very scattered, and it's not economically viable to provide wastewater networks everywhere. Therefore, wastewater transported from the unserved areas via trucks to centralize treatment plant for treatment and disposal, as we get farther from the centralized plant, the wastewater transportation cost increases. The current centralized treatment technology in the kingdom is design to the only treatment of the wastewater not to recycle wastewater. The solution to these problems is to have decentralized water recycling systems for onsite wastewater recycling without transportation.
Al-Miyah has developed a novel decentralized water recycling technology. Our technology is compact (25% less area required), and it can save 80% energy and requires less maintenance. Our system can be mounted on a shipping container, and it's movable, plug and play, modular and scalable and robust. Our technology produces reliable quality recycled water suitable for many non-potable applications such as landscaping, horticulture, toilet flushing, floor washing, etc.
