Manila Water said it is undertaking a wastewater recovery project at its Cardona Treatment Plant to enhance operational efficiency, reduce costs and minimize the risk of brine pipe breakage.
The P13-million initiative involves installing a 200-millimeter diameter high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipeline with concrete encasement and a 110-millimeter diameter HDPE pipeline spanning six linear meters. These pipelines will transport treated brine wastewater within the facility for reuse in water treatment processes.
A key component of the project is the supply and installation of four 1.5 MLD-7.5kw submersible pumps, new wastewater recovery pumps (1-4), valves, and other essential equipment crucial for the efficient handling and transportation of brine wastewater during treatment.
Upon completion in September 2025, the project will treat and reuse over 6 MLD of brine wastewater. The advanced automation systems are expected to streamline operations, reduce costs, improve treatment performance, and mitigate environmental impact.
