Oman Spreads its Roots Reed Bed Water Treatment Plant to Expand

摘要

Oman's Nimr oil field was generating nearly a quarter of a million cubic meters of wastewater everyday. Reed bed treatment technology from Germany is set to treat 40% of this amount by the end of this year, as well as recover salt to sell on the Omani market. Jeremy Josephs investigates how the project is expanding. Dr Roman Breuer is a man with a mission. From his offices at the Bauer Group's HQ in Schrobenhausen, Germany he set about constructing the world's largest commercial reed bed treatment plant for oil-polluted water at the Nimr oil field in the Sultanate of Oman.
