Doha North Sewage Treatment Works

at a glance
Keppel Seghers, the environmental arm of
Keppel Infrastructure, is privileged to partner
the Public Works Authority of Qatar to develop
Doha North Sewage Treatment Works (Doha
North STW). This landmark project is the largest
greenfield wastewater treatment, water reuse
and sludge treatment plant in Qatar and the
Middle East.
With a peak design capacity to treat wastewater
of up to 439,000 cubic metres per day, Doha
North STW will serve a projected population of
over 900,000. This modern facility will feature
advanced biological treatment processes as well
as membrane and ultra-violet technologies to
produce high quality reclaimed water for reuse.
The facility will also be equipped with thermal
drying processes to treat wastewater sludge to
international standards for safe disposal.

Peak capacity of
439,000 cubic
metres per day
Serves a population

The wastewater at Doha North Sewage Treatment Works undergoes advanced biological treatment before membrane and
ultra-violet treatment to produce high quality reclaimed water.

Developing sustainable water technology for over 30 years, Keppel Seghers leverages its advanced water solutions in
projects such as the Ulu Pandan NEWater Plant in Singapore, which produces 148,000 m3 of ultra clean water a day

First of its kind

Model project for

the international
water community

One-stop service
provider of water
solutions

Doha North STW serves as a model project of

sustainable development for communities
worldwide. Incoming wastewater will be treated
to international standards for safe disposal and
for re-use. The facility will be a source of water
supply for non-potable use, thereby freeing up
precious drinking water supply for the
community. Treated sludge can be used as
soil conditioning.

In undertaking the Doha North STW, which is one

of the largest international water projects secured
by a Singapore company, Keppel Seghers
taps on the Keppel Groups global expertise
and network to develop the project with
advanced water treatment technologies
and sustainability concepts.

Keppel Seghers will design and build Doha North

STW, and subsequently operate the works for a
period of 10 years.
Doha North STW achieves several firsts:
first wastewater treatment facility in Qatar
to use advanced membrane and ultraviolet
treatment technologies to reclaim high quality
water for non-potable purposes;
first facility with a comprehensive odour
control system to minimise the impact on
the surrounding environment;
Qatar
Doha North Sewage
Treatment Works

first facility equipped with modern sludge

treatment processes to receive and treat
sludge generated from not just Doha North
STW but all other sewage treatment works
in Qatar;

the 4km-by-4km buffer zone surrounding

Doha North STW will be carefully landscaped.

Doha North STW draws the best ideas from

multiple global agencies to address the
challenges of water sustainability and
sustainable development through the use of
sophisticated technologies and cost-effective
integrated water solutions.

With a proven track record of environmental

projects in 25 countries, including the advanced
Ulu Pandan NEWater Plant in Singapore,
Keppel Seghers will harness innovative,
proven and practical solutions to deliver
cost-effective solutions to the international
water community.
