The Muharraq STP Company is a special purpose company, with international water utility shareholders, and uses skilled resources experienced in long-term infrastructure asset management to provide professional and quality sewerage services to the people of Muharraq.

Muharraq Sludge Incineration Plant.
The Muharraq Sewage Treatment Plant (MSTP) is a modern state-of-the-art wastewater treatment plant, designed for nutrient removal with tertiary treatment, producing a final effluent compliant with Bahrain and WHO wastewater treatment standards, and is suitable for re-use by unrestricted irrigation. This irrigation water is either exported for re-use by both pipeline and tanker and when not required, discharged safely to the sea via a dedicated long sea outfall.
All sludge arising from plant operations is incinerated in state-of-the-art ‘fluidized bed’ incinerators. Emissions discharged into the atmosphere comply with both Bahrain and European standards and residual ash is disposed of in accordance with local environmental laws.
The plant consistently delivers irrigation water of the highest quality, thereby providing a valuable resource to consumers throughout Bahrain. These include water for beautification of road central reservations, many public parks, and football stadia. The project has prevented of sewage floodings caused by overloaded network or defect Pumping Stations.
