Station d’épuration et de recyclage des eaux usées de l’Université Ibn Tofail

Project context

• Ibn Tofail University decided to build a wastewater treatment plant for the university in 2019 with a capacity of 400m³ ^/ day. The plant will treat the pollutant load in terms of Suspended Solids (SS), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD5 ₎ .
• This project falls within the ecological and social framework of the University and its commitment to sustainable development, it ensures a water conservation economy and fits perfectly into the national water strategy.
• The station will allow the University to evolve towards the concept of the “SMART CITY” and will be a research and training platform for teachers and students.

Goals

• University wastewater treatment by the third generation membrane bioreactor system which consists of coupling an aerobic biological process with an ultrafiltration membrane process (MBR-UF).
• Moving towards zero discharge through the reuse of treated water for the irrigation of green spaces on the university campus and the reuse of sludge as fertilizer in agriculture (Sustainability).

Processing channels

The MBR-UF system is a compact and self-contained solution that produces effluent quality meeting irrigation standards. The treatment process will include a pumping station, a pretreatment unit, a biological and membrane treatment stage (MBR-UF), and a sludge and odor treatment stage.
