VA TECH WABAG has secured an order worth about Rs. 800 Crores for the Reconstruction, Expansion and Operation of the Pagla Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) in Dhaka.
Pagla has a capacity of 200 Million Litres per Day (MLD) and is run by the Dhaka Water Supply & Sewerage Authority (Dhaka WASA).
The project is funded by Multi-lateral Funding Agencies like World Bank and Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) under Dhaka Sanitation Improvement Project (DSIP).
The scope of the project includes Design, Engineering, Supply, Construction, Installation and Commissioning of the 200 MLD STP followed by Operation & Maintenance (O&M) for a period of 60 months.
This project has the potential to be expanded to 600 MLD in the future, fuelled by city’s growing needs.
This plant will operate based on Activated Sludge Treatment Process where it uses Green Fuel (Biogas) generated during the waste water treatment process producing Green Energy required for running the plant.
