With a total capacity of 800,000 m3<\/sup>\/day, the plant is considered one of the largest sewage treatment plants in Alexandria and serves around 4 million people. It is a huge and pioneering project with respect to generating electric power from solid waste; where the resulting sludge is digested to produce methane gas that is used to generate electric power, thus improving the environment and reducing emissions & energy use. The generated electricity covers about 60% of the plant\u2019s energy consumption.<\/p>\n The project comprises two sludge mixing and transfer tanks (125 m3<\/sup> each), gas holders (5,000 m3<\/sup>), four-floor sludge digestion building (footprint area of 380 m2<\/sup> and built-up area of 1,480 m2<\/sup>), digester tank (16,000 m3<\/sup>), digested sludge storage tank (2 x 1,250 m3<\/sup>), waste gas burner, biogas treatment unit, boilers building, and a powerhouse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":9557,"template":"","activity":[567,558,568,561,562,566],"country":[71],"scope":[637,676],"sector":[256,261],"yoast_head":"\n
