Project overview

The South Babylon Wastewater Treatment Plant is a regional wastewater infrastructure development in Babylon Governorate, Iraq.

Located in the Al-Hashimiyah area, the project occupies approximately 84 dunams and is designed to serve three principal population centres: Al-Qasim, Al-Hashimiyah and Al-Madhatiyah.

The treatment plant forms part of a wider programme to develop wastewater collection, conveyance and treatment infrastructure across southern Babylon.

The treatment configuration encompasses mechanical pretreatment, biological wastewater processing, sludge management and tertiary effluent filtration. The planned facilities incorporate automated process control, instrumentation and electrical infrastructure to support the different treatment stages.

With a published treatment capacity of 100,000 m³/day, the development is intended to strengthen sanitation services, improve wastewater management and reduce the environmental impact of untreated municipal discharges.
