For sites that need multiple wastewater treatment capacities on one location, modular containerized systems offer a flexible and scalable solution. In Dammam, Enviromatch supplied a set of containerized BioMatch T‑MBBR systems at 24, 50, 105 and 200 m³/day, all based on standardized 20 ft and 40 ft HQ containers. These plants form part of Enviromatch’s portfolio of wastewater treatment systems and containerized systems for industrial and municipal clients in Saudi Arabia.
Project overview: four containerized capacities on one site
The PN. 24008 project includes four separate containerized BioMatch T‑MBBR wastewater treatment systems with design flows of 24, 50, 105 and 200 m³/day in Dammam, Saudi Arabia. Each system is tailored to a specific load while maintaining a common process philosophy and equipment approach, simplifying operation and maintenance across the site.
The units are installed in combinations of 20 ft and 40 ft HQ containers, making them easy to transport, position and integrate with existing infrastructure. This modular setup supports phased development and future expansion without the need for large new civil‑built treatment plants.
Process configuration and main components
All four capacities use the BioMatch T‑MBBR process combined with clarification, media filtration and disinfection. For the 24 m³/day and 105 m³/day systems, the layout includes dedicated pretreatment and equalization tanks in addition to the biological and polishing stages.
Across the 24, 50, 105 and 200 m³/day units, the typical process chain includes:
- Pretreatment tank (24 and 105 m³/day) for initial solids removal and flow conditioning.
- Equalization tank (24 and 105 m³/day) to buffer flow and load variations.
- Anoxic tank with BioMatch T‑MBBR media for denitrification and pre‑treatment.
- Aeration tank for aerobic biological treatment.
- Clarifier tank to separate biomass and suspended solids.
- Up‑flow automatic media filter for effluent polishing.
- Chlorine contact tank for final disinfection.
This standardized process design delivers reliable effluent quality across the different capacities while allowing Enviromatch to reuse proven engineering and operating practices.
Shared mechanical and control features across all units
To streamline operation and spare parts management, all four systems share similar mechanical, access and control components. Each containerized plant is equipped with FRP handrails, FRP ladders and FRP grating walkways, providing safe and corrosion‑resistant access for operators.
Common mechanical and control features include:
- Regenerative blowers for aeration.
- Electrical oil‑free air compressors for instrumentation and air‑operated equipment.
- Chlorine dosing systems for disinfection in each plant.
- Static screens and hoppers for inlet solids removal.
- PLC control systems to automate operation, monitor key parameters and trigger alarms.
This level of standardization reduces training requirements and simplifies maintenance planning for the Dammam site.
Benefits of modular containerized wastewater treatment in Dammam
Using modular containerized BioMatch T‑MBBR systems for multiple capacities on a single site provides several advantages.
- Scalable capacity: Individual 24, 50, 105 and 200 m³/day modules can be operated independently or combined in line with actual demand.
- Simplified site works: Standard 20 ft and 40 ft HQ containers require only basic foundations and utility connections.
- Operational efficiency: Shared equipment philosophy and PLC control make supervision and maintenance more efficient across all units.
- Shorter project timelines: Factory‑built, pre‑assembled systems reduce construction time compared with traditional concrete plants.
These features make the PN. 24008 installation a strong example of modular containerized wastewater treatment for multi‑train sites in Saudi Arabia.
Explore modular containerized solutions with Enviromatch
Enviromatch designs containerized BioMatch T‑MBBR systems from small units to multi‑train modular installations like the 24–200 m³/day project in Dammam. For sites that need flexible capacity and minimal civil works, modular wastewater treatment systems can be configured around 20 ft and 40 ft containers to match project requirements.
