Marafiq, Saudi Arabia announce the development of an advanced Industrial Wastewater Treatment Plant (IWWTP) in Jubail 2 Industrial City, as this strategic initiative will enable the efficient recycling of wastewater into demineralized water, supporting sustainable industrial operations for the AMIRAL Project.
The Company announces the signing of a 30-year concession agreement with Saudi Aramco Total Refining and Petrochemical Company (SATORP) for the treatment and reuse of industrial wastewater to be generated by the Amiral Facility, which is under construction by SATORP within Jubail II Industrial City, eastern region of Saudi Arabia.
The agreement is carried out through a dedicated project company jointly owned by Marafiq (40%), Veolia Middle East S.A.S (35%), and Lamar Arabia for Energy (25%).
The project will implement advanced water treatment systems and recovery technologies to process complex industrial effluents, with a specific focus on industrial wastewater and spent caustic streams from the Amiral Facility. These recovered resources will be treated for reintegration into the original industrial processes, supporting closed-loop reuse and energy efficiency.
This initiative aligns with Marafiq’s long-term strategy to foster sustainable industrial ecosystems through integrated utility and environmental solutions. By utilizing technical expertise in water infrastructure, environmental management, and circular economy design, the partnership aims to reduce the environmental impact of industrial operations while maximizing resource efficiency.
The project strengthens Marafiq’s position as a national leader in sustainable infrastructure, supporting broader goals to enhance environmental resilience and industrial circularity within the Kingdom.
