Va Tech WABAG Secures Repeat Order Worth $49 Million from KUKL
Exciting news alert! Va Tech WABAG, a renowned player in the water technology industry, has just landed a huge repeat order worth $49 million from Kathmandu Upatyaka Khanepani Ltd (KUKL).
Project Overview
The project, funded by the Asian Development Bank (ADB), will involve the design, build, and operate (DBO) of three wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) in Nepal at Sallaghari, Kodku, and Dhobighat. These plants will have the capacity to treat approximately 69 MLD of wastewater.
Once completed, these plants will play a crucial role in reducing the flow of untreated wastewater into the Bagmati, Manohara, and Hanumante rivers, thereby enhancing water quality and revitalizing the entire ecosystem, according to a statement.
Going Green
One of the highlights of this project is the generation of biogas through activated sludge treatment, which will result in the production of green energy. This energy will be used to power the operation of the WWTPs, effectively reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and optimizing operational costs.
