New Delta Wastewater Treatment Plant Sets Four Guinness World Records

The New Delta Wastewater Treatment Plant has officially received four Guinness World Records certificates in a ceremony attended by prominent government officials. Khatib & Alami (K&A) was also honored with a prestigious award from the Egyptian Armed Forces Engineering Authority for outstanding contributions to this project.

The New Delta Wastewater Treatment Plant boasts a remarkable production capacity of 7.5 million m³/ day of agricultural drainage water, playing a crucial role in reclaiming and developing 2 million acres in the western Delta region. It is one of the world’s largest sustainability projects, featuring the largest water treatment facility at 320,000 m², an operational capacity of 86.8 m³/second, and the largest epoxy coating in a building at 520,000 m².

Additionally, the plant incorporates cutting-edge technologies to maximize sustainability and support Egypt’s irrigation system, such as the largest sludge treatment plant with a capacity of 670.01 kg/second.

Ashraf Ayoub, Senior Manager – Supervision, Egypt, commented: “These awards represent the culmination of the dedicated efforts of the Armed Forces Engineering Authority, K&A, and the contractors’ joint venture, whose combined expertise and commitment brought this groundbreaking project to life. The plant’s successful design, implementation, and operation mark a significant milestone in advancing Egypt’s irrigation infrastructure, aligning with the 2030 National Agenda and UN Sustainable Development Goals.”

By maximizing wastewater treatment and reuse, the New Delta Wastewater Treatment Plant will contribute to water conservation efforts, support agriculture, and address water scarcity in the region.
