The order is for upgrading the industrial wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) in Romania.

The contract will be an engineering & procurement (‘EP') scope contract which includes design & engineering, equipment supply, installation, commissioning and start-up of the Purolite Victoria WWTP. The project is scheduled to be executed over a 24-month period.

The existing plant, located in Victoria, Brasov County, was designed to treat 5,820 cubic meter per day of wastewater generated from resin production. Purolite has planned to increase the production and an increased wastewater flow will result from production.

Thus, an upgrade of the existing WWTP has become necessary. The upgrade will include additional pre-treatment, extension of existing lamella clarifiers and new reverse osmosis stage, in order to treat the effluent up to national NTPA001 discharge criteria.

Erwin Moetz, CEO – Wabag Romania said: "It is a matter of extreme pride for us to have bagged this key industrial order and we thank Purolite for the confidence they have reposed in us.

We have already built a wastewater treatment plant for Purolite and this repeat order is indeed a great testament of the trust that the customer has, regarding our capability and competencies.

Wabag Romania specializes in design and construction of industrial water plants and this project will be another marquee reference for us.”

Va Tech Wabag principal activities include design, supply, installation, construction and operational management of drinking water, waste water treatment, industrial water treatment and desalination plants.
