The Power and Water Utility Company for Jubail and Yanbu (MARAFIQ) and Miahona Co. received, on Dec. 4, a letter from the Saudi Water Partnership Co., for the selection of their consortium as preferred bidder for Arana independent sewage treatment plant (ISTP) under the build, own, operate, transfer (BOOT).
The project located in Makkah province will last 25 years, and its total value, excluding potential expansion, is estimated at over SAR 3 billion.
The consortium will work with the relevant stakeholders to achieve commercial and financial closing.
According to two separate statements to Tadawul, the project ownership is divided as follows: Miahona, the consortium leader, owns 35%, MARAFIQ (35%), alongside Buhur for Investment Co.
The project aims to develop a new treatment facility with a capacity of 250,000 m3/day. The work scope includes the designing, financing, engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning, completion, testing, ownership, operation and maintenance, handover, and transfer upon the expiry of the STA.
The project includes water special facility, TSE special unit, and outfall delivery facility.
The work scope also includes the development of Arana ISTP auxiliaries and interfaces, as follows: connection to the Arana plant TSE re-use delivery point, the existing electrical substation, sludge treatment infrastructure, as well as handling, transportation and delivery of beneficial-use sludge to a designated disposal area.
Furthermore, the project includes the potential to expand its treatment capacity to up to 500,000 m³/day, subject to SWPC’s request.
With this scale, Arana ISTP is set to become one of the Kingdom’s largest and most advanced sewage treatment and TSE facilities. It will showcase cutting-edge technology and play a pivotal role in advancing the circular economy and supporting the environmental ambitions of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030.
