1- Project Details
​
AQUALINE Water Technology provided a custom-engineered river water treatment system, designed to transform poor-quality surface water into potable water using environmentally responsible processes. The solution aligned with national goals of enhancing public health, improving infrastructure, and strengthening long-term water security through a reliable and scalable treatment approach.
​
2- Customer Need
​
This government-initiated project was launched to serve a vital community of over 700,000 people, who were facing a severe shortage of clean drinking water and relying solely on a highly turbid river as their primary source. With a growing population and increasing public health concerns, the government recognized the urgent need for a sustainable and advanced water treatment solution. The objective was to ensure safe and continuous access to drinking water while aligning with national goals of improving infrastructure, public health, and environmental responsibility.
​
3- Challenge​
​
The project required the treatment of water sourced from a highly turbid river, which serves as the only available water supply for a village of over 734,000 people. The river’s elevated turbidity caused by natural sedimentation and industrial waste discharge posed a significant challenge for producing clean, safe drinking water. The treatment system also had to be implemented in an area with limited infrastructure.
​
4- Aqualine Solution​
​
To address the crisis, AQUALINE implemented a comprehensive river water treatment plant to deliver clean, safe water to the community. The solution enhances water quality, reduces health risks, and supports sustainable development. Key components include a pump station with chlorination dosing, coagulation and flocculation tanks, a lamella clarifier, intermediate tank, filtration unit, and full instrumentation with connectivity. The plant is also supplied with essential spare parts, ensuring reliable, long-term operation and emphasizing the need for sustainable water management and pollution control.
​
5- Impact & Environmental Effect
​
The Aqualine intervention delivered tangible and immediate benefits:​
- Treated water meets drinking standards.
- Needs for an entire village for clean water were addressed.
- Treated water used for plant irrigation and other human uses.
- The container system is utilized to optimize space for processing equipment.
- Fully automated system with remote control capabilities through phone apps.
​
5- Performance
​
Now progressing through stage 2 of operation, this project continues to demonstrate water resilience and sustainability. Aqualine’s solution is actively enhancing water security while maintaining energy efficiency and low maintenance demands.
