Project Name:	AMMAN-ZARQA WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT, PHASE I - JORDAN
	Client:	Ministry of Water and Irrigation Funding Agency: The Swedish International Development Co-operation Agency
	Project Description:	The new As-Samra plant, consists of 267,000m3/day biological wastewater treatment plant to be constructed adjacent to the existing As-Samra Wastewater Stabilization Pond facility as a Phase I implementation corresponding to a capacity for 2.27 million persons and produce an effluent that meets Jordanian standards for discharges to wadis (50 mg/l BOD5, 50 mg/l suspended solids, 15 mg/l ammonia nitrogen, 25 mg/l of Nitrate-N and 50 mg/l total nitrogen). A future expansion in Phase II is planned to increase the capacity to 420,000m3/day to serve a design population of 3.31 million through the year 2025. Effluent from the new plant will be discharged to the nearby wadi.  Sludge will be thickened, digested, dewatered and stored on site for 2-3 years prior to disposal through land application. The main components at the As-Samra Plant include; pre-aeration/oil removal, flow measuring primary clarifiers, aeration basins, secondary clarifiers, sand filters, disinfection; sludge: gravity thickeners, anaerobic digesters, sludge dewatering with gravity drying beds, sludge storage
