Al-Buainain further stated that Marafiq is seeking to provide high-level services that meet the requirements of growth in industrial projects in the Kingdom within the framework of its 2030 Vision, adding that this expansion will enable the plant to treat industrial wastewater with a 125,000 m3/day of liquid waste in addition to its current capacity.
Al-Buainain emphasized that this project demonstrates Marafiq’s commitment to its ambitious plans, which are to expand its business in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This achievement further highlights the continued value that Marafiq contributes to industrial growth and its commitment to meeting its needs in Jubail Industrial City. The expansion of IWTP-8 will use the latest technologies to enhance the capabilities to preserve the environment and ensure full commitment to the Royal Commission’s environmental regulations.
