The Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI) – Medical University of Bahrain has installed a new Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) Sewage Treatment Plant, strengthening the University’s commitment to sustainability.
Through this state-of-the-art facility, they aim to transform wastewater into reusable water, thereby significantly reducing the University’s environmental footprint. The MBR Sewage Treatment Plant is capable of processing up to 150 cubic meters (150,000 liters) per day, which is equivalent to 55,000 cubic meters annually.
The plant is developed to support the University’s growth, including the forthcoming New Academic Building, by managing future wastewater requirements sustainably. The treated water will be recycled for landscape irrigation, conserving potable water resources while supporting the University’s green campus initiatives.
As part of its commitment to reducing carbon impact, the new plant operates predominantly on renewable energy from the campus solar farm, as it is fully integrated with the University’s solar-powered electricity grid.
