Modular MBBRPAC Sewage Treatment Plant for NEOM: TRIWA’s Rapid, Mobile, Turnkey Solution
The modular MBBRPAC sewage treatment plant for NEOM is a game changer in mobile water treatment technology. Because NEOM requires the highest standards, TRIWA developed this turnkey, containerized solution to deliver rapid, reliable, and sustainable wastewater treatment for Saudi Arabia’s flagship smart city. As a result, the project sets new benchmarks for performance and efficiency.
With a flexible design and quick mobilization, TRIWA’s MBBRPAC series meets the unique needs of remote and fast-growing developments like NEOM. Consequently, the system provides significant advantages over conventional water treatment solutions. Therefore, it is setting a new standard for performance, efficiency, and scalability in the region.
Project Overview
To support NEOM’s ambitious vision, TRIWA designed, built, and commissioned a fully integrated, plug-and-play MBBRPAC system. As a result, the plant treats up to 600 cubic meters per day (CMD) of domestic sewage. In addition, its capacity is expandable to 1,000 CMD to keep up with future demand. Because the site is remote, scalability is crucial.
- Four modular treatment streams, each with:
- Anoxic tank, which helps remove nitrogen
- Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) for biological treatment
- Sedimentation tank for solid separation
- Activated sludge compartment, boosting treatment effectiveness
- Dedicated equipment room for efficient maintenance
- Centralized container for:
- Tertiary treatment (multimedia and activated carbon filtration) to ensure clean output
- Control room with full automation and remote monitoring, which guarantees operational security
In addition to its flexible setup, the modular design ensures efficient operation and simple scalability for future growth. For this reason, NEOM can easily adapt the plant to changing requirements.
Engineered for Reliability and High Performance
TRIWA’s MBBRPAC product line is engineered for the toughest environments. Therefore, for NEOM, all major systems use a 1 duty / 1 standby setup, guaranteeing continuous, fail-safe operation. Moreover, this approach increases reliability during periods of high demand.
The treatment process uses advanced Hybrid MBBR (IFAS standard) technology. By combining attached and suspended growth, the system shortens commissioning time and maintains high performance—even as wastewater loads fluctuate. Consequently, TRIWA ensures consistently high-quality treatment outcomes.
Because the technology is both robust and flexible, it is ideal for a dynamic and visionary project like NEOM. As a result, the system continues to perform reliably, regardless of changing site conditions.
Mobility, Modularity & Speed
Speed and mobility define TRIWA’s approach. In fact, the modular, containerized MBBRPAC system minimizes civil works and slashes setup time. Additionally, its redeployable design means it can be quickly moved or expanded as project needs evolve. Therefore, the system is perfect for remote or rapidly developing locations.
Furthermore, containerization allows the system to be transported with ease and set up with minimal infrastructure. Because of this, operational flexibility is maximized at every project stage.
TRIWA’s Turnkey Execution
TRIWA managed the NEOM project from start to finish, demonstrating true turnkey expertise in every aspect of the process, including:
- Engineering and design, which ensures optimal project planning
- In-house fabrication for quality control
- End-to-end project management, so clients have peace of mind
- On-site installation, which guarantees efficient setup
- Commissioning and performance testing, which confirm system readiness
Despite logistical and site challenges, the MBBRPAC system was delivered and installed in record time. Thus, TRIWA reinforced its reputation for rapid deployment without sacrificing quality or reliability. In other words, clients can expect results even under the most demanding circumstances.
