Project Description
Provision of up to USD 8 million loan to finance (i) the upgrade and expansion of the existing pre-treatment facility at Ain Ghazal Pre-Treatment Plant ("AGTP") from a peak capacity of 330,000 ms/d to 726,712 ms/d in order to accept and treat the expected incoming flows at AGTP until 2045, and (ii) the decommissioning of the redundant septic tank reception facility, which will be replaced by a new sceptic tank in Al Ghabawi.
Project Objectives
Due to the rapid population increase in Jordan, primarily due to the influx of Syrian refugees since 2011, excess wastewater under peak flow conditions bypasses the facility and is sent directly to As Samra WWTP without pre-treatment. The project will provide an additional capacity of 396,712m3/d at AGTP to accommodate the expected growth in wastewater inflows to year 2045. The project will also support the decommissioning of the redundant sceptic tank at AGTP, and will include the installation of a modern odour control system at AGTP to minimise nuisance to nearby residential areas.
Transition Impact
ETI score: 66
Primary Quality - Green. The project will expand and rehabilitate the existing wastewater pre-treatment facility at Ain Ghazal (AGTP) which pre-treats and then conveys wastewater to the As-Samra WWTP for full treatment. The project will result in significant environmental and social benefits in and around the project area including a reduction in pollution incidents, odour, noise and tanker traffic impacts. It will also ensure reduce organic loading of the As-Samra WWTP ensuring that the treatment process is effective and that treated wastewater is suitable for re-use.
Secondary Quality i Competitive. The project will be operated by the private sector under a long term concession agreement with the Government of Jordan, which introduces cost efficiencies in the projects operations and improves service quality.
