Containerized wastewater treatment systems offer Aramco and industrial clients in Saudi Arabia a fast, compact and reliable way to treat camp and process wastewater with minimal civil works. For an Aramco project in Jeddah, Enviromatch designed and supplied two 96–104 m³/day containerized BioMatch T‑MBBR systems that deliver high‑quality treated effluent from a standardized 40 ft HQ footprint. These units form part of Enviromatch’s broader portfolio of wastewater treatment systems engineered for demanding applications worldwide.
Project overview: Aramco containerized wastewater treatment in Jeddah
The PN. 23004‑104CMD project consists of two identical containerized wastewater treatment systems, each designed for a capacity between 96 and 104 m³/day for an Aramco facility in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The client required a plug‑and‑play solution for domestic and camp wastewater that could be installed quickly, operate reliably in harsh conditions and meet strict environmental and corporate discharge standards.
Enviromatch delivered a complete containerized plant based on its BioMatch T‑MBBR technology, with all main treatment stages integrated inside a 40 ft HQ shipping container. This approach minimized on‑site construction, shortened commissioning time and provided Aramco with a modular system that can be relocated or expanded as project needs change.
BioMatch T‑MBBR technology in a containerized system
The heart of the system is the BioMatch T‑MBBR process, a high‑rate moving bed biofilm reactor that uses carrier media to support a dense and stable biomass. This technology achieves efficient removal of organic load and nutrients in a relatively small volume, making it ideal for containerized wastewater treatment systems where space is limited.
By incorporating BioMatch T‑MBBR into a factory‑built container, Enviromatch delivers a fully integrated biological treatment plant with optimized hydraulics, media retention and aeration. This same design philosophy underpins Enviromatch’s containerized systems portfolio, which serves camps, industrial estates and remote projects across different regions.
Key process stages in the 96–104 m³/day plant
Each 40 ft HQ container is configured as a complete treatment line from inlet to disinfected effluent. The main stages in the 96–104 m³/day containerized wastewater treatment system include:
- Pretreatment tank
- Equalization tank
- Anoxic tank (BioMatch T‑MBBR stage)
- Aeration tank (BioMatch T‑MBBR stage)
- Clarifier tank
- Up‑flow automatic media filter
- Chlorine contact tank
This sequence of stages ensures the Aramco project receives a robust, multi‑barrier treatment system combining physical, biological and chemical processes.
Mechanical, safety and control features
Beyond the process tanks, the containerized wastewater treatment system includes carefully selected mechanical and safety components. The container is equipped with FRP handrails, FRP ladders and FRP grating walkways, ensuring operators have safe, non‑corrosive access paths around critical areas.
To support the biological and control processes, the system includes:
- Regenerative blower for supplying air to the aeration tank.
- Electrical oil‑free air compressor for instrumentation and pneumatic devices.
- Chlorine dosing system for accurate chemical feed to the chlorine contact tank.
- Rotary drum screen and hopper in the pretreatment section to remove coarse solids and protect downstream equipment.
- PLC control system to automate operation, monitor performance and provide alarms.
These components work together to deliver a self‑contained, automated plant that can be supervised by a small operations team.
Benefits of containerized wastewater treatment for Aramco projects
For Aramco and similar industrial clients, adopting a containerized wastewater treatment system in Jeddah offers multiple technical and commercial benefits. Key advantages include:
- Rapid deployment and commissioning
- Compact footprint
- Scalability and modularity
- Operational reliability
- Reduced lifecycle costs
These advantages make containerized wastewater treatment systems an attractive choice for camps, industrial facilities and infrastructure projects across Saudi Arabia.
