A new wastewater treatment facility is set to be built in Bouznika industrial zone, Morocco. Millennium Challenge Account-Morocco Agency (MCA-Morocco), has awarded the British company, Biwater Holdings Limited, a turnkey contract to design and construct the facility.
This project forms a part of the investment from the Moroccan Ministry of Industry, Trade, Green and Digital Economy (MCINET) for the development, revitalization, and management of the Bouznika industrial zone.
The New wastewater treatment facility, whose earthworks are already underway, will provide pre-treatment, biological treatment, and advanced tertiary treatment of the wastewater for reuse applications according to the Surrey, England-based company.
