On his first official visit to Houston as Governor of Basra, H.E.

Headworks BIO has been awarded a contract to supply the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Water and Electricity with a Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) system to upgrade an activated sludge plant. The MBBR system will achieve BOD (biochemical oxygen demand) reduction and nitrification, producing effluent suitable for reuse and irrigation applications in a land where water is the rarest resource available. This project highlights one of the key advantages associated with MBBR technology. Once fully commissioned, the capacity of the plant will increase by 40% and produce effluent quality that is suitable for reuse- all within the existing infrastructure. The design consists of four trains, each treating 7,000 m3/day and, as a result, the upgraded plant will treat 28,000 m3/day compared with 20,000 m3/day of effluent it currently treats. After the plant is commissioned mid-year, this installation will be a showcase for maximizing the use of existing assets for utilities and end users in the region.
Headworks BIO Inc. is a total solutions provider offering wastewater screening, MBBR/IFAS biological treatment, and tertiary filtration products to the worldwide municipal and industrial treatment industry. Headworks BIO Inc. is based in Houston, Texas with offices around the world including the USA, Canada, India, and the Middle East.

May this New Year bring newly found prosperity, love, peace, happiness and delight in your life.
Happy New Year 2013!
