Borouge lands big Egypt wastewater plant supply contract

Borouge, a leading petrochemical company providing innovative, value-creating polyolefin solutions, has partnered with Krah Misr, a leading manufacturer of large diameter pipes and fittings, to supply infrastructure solutions for the world’s largest wastewater treatment plant, Bahr Al Baqar Wastewater Plant.

 

Borouge is a joint venture between Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (Adnoc) and Austrian chemical giant Borealis. 

 

Situated in the northwest of Egypt, the $1.27 billion world-scale plant will boost Egypt’s water resources used to irrigate agricultural land, while decreasing the risk of contaminated water entering agricultural, industrial, and municipal water. It was recently inaugurated by Egyptian President Abdel Fatah Al Sisi.

 

Borouge and Krah Misr have harnessed their strengths to supply Bahr Al Baqar Wastewater Plant with spiral wound polyethylene pipes, meeting its 5 million cu m daily processing capacity needs. 

 

The pipes include 2.7 km of 1,600-mm and 2,500 mm diameter spiral wound polyethylene pipes for low-pressure applications. The pipes were made using raw materials supplied by Borouge, which employed BorSafe HE3490-LS technology – capable of withstanding large diameter pressure, intake/outfall and multi-gravity applications, said the statement from Borouge. 

 

BorSafe HE3490-LS is easily processed by its customers worldwide and is highly agile – used either for solid-wall pressure pipe extrusion in large diameter
