Prestigious Dubai development Palm Jumeirah is getting rid of its waste in style thanks to a high-tech sewerage system.
The Nakheel project is using the largest vacuum technology network of its type in the world as part of a drive to make the development super-sustainable.
Around 2,000 villas are served by the sewerage system through 900 collection chambers, 40 kilometres of pipeline and the planet’s largest vacuum station.
Waste water is pumped to a membrane bio-reactor on the trunk of the project for treatment.
Nakheel design and development managing director Abdulrahman Kalantar said:
“The sewerage system is probably one of the last things a homeowner considers when deciding to purchase – but it is a crucial component in the successful operation of a residential community.”
The system has been developed by Corodex Electromechanic, a part of Concorde-Corodex Group, which is one of the world’s leading suppliers of water systems.
Mahmood Awad, managing director of Concorde – Corodex Group, said the firm was ‘honoured’ to have played the ‘small but important’ role in the project.
Palm Jumeirah is a man-made beach residence project, which forms the shape of a palm tree when viewed from the air.
