Libya’s Waha Oil Company (WOC) has awarded Zulal Water Technology (ZWT) an Engineering, Procurement, Installation & Commissioning (EPIC) contract 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. This project is crucial as Dahra Field currently lacks a drinking water plant.
The water at Dahra Field is highly challenging to treat due to its high salinity levels comparable to sea water. Additionally, the presence of high levels of H2S and iron in the water makes the project even more complex. ZWT highlighted the specialized nature of this project, requiring substantial technical expertise to overcome these challenges.
ZWT’s team boasts over 35 years of experience in successfully completing numerous water treatment projects in Libya. Their experience was vital for this project, which adds to their portfolio of successful water treatment plants completed for Waha Oil Company in various locations.
Iftikhar ul Haq, Director of ZWT, emphasized the importance of experience in tackling the unique challenges posed by Dahra Field’s water. Waha Oil Company conducted a competitive procurement process and thorough technical evaluation before awarding ZWT the contract. The project will be executed on a full turnkey basis, including various treatment processes and the supply of necessary equipment and chemicals.
The company’s commitment to using the latest technologies and expertise ensures that Waha’s water needs are met efficiently and effectively.
In conclusion, Zulal Water Technology has been awarded an EPIC contract by Libya’s Waha Oil Company to build a drinking water treatment plant at Dahra Oil Field.
