모로코의 국왕 모하메드 6세가 카사블랑카(Greater Casablanca) 동쪽 해안에서 바다로 배출되는 많은 양의 폐수를 처리하기 위해 수에즈(SUEZ)사의 공해방지 시스템을 채택했다.

카사블랑카에서 모하메디아(Mohammedia)로 뻗어있는 해안선은 모로코에서 가장 선진 공업화된 해안지역의 하나로, 특히 바다로 배출하는 폐수로 인해 많은 공해가 발생하고 있다. 이에 수에즈는 카사블랑카 해안지대를 보존하는 것을 목표로 시스템을 제공하겠다고 밝혔다.

 

 

 

Today, His Majesty King Mohammed VI of Morocco, North Africa, along with a number of partnering individuals, inaugurated an anti-pollution system from SUEZ Environnement on the East Coast of Greater Casablanca to treat a number of wastewater discharges into the sea.

 

The Moroccan coastline, which extends from Casablanca to Mohammedia, serves as one of the most industrialized seaboards in the country and generates large amounts of pollution, principally due to wastewater discharges into the sea. As such, SUEZ is aiming to preserve the Greater Casablanca coastline.

 

The Anti-Pollution System, developed by Lydec, a SUEZ Moroccan subsidiary, will enable the region to treat 100 percent of the wastewater of the Greater Casablanca, completing the system already in place in the western part of the country.

 

In addition, the Anti-Pollution System will intercept direct discharges of wastewater on the Casablanca-Mohammedia coastline, pretreat them at the plant at Sidi Bernoussi through Degremont® technologies, and pipe them to a sea outfall.

 

With a total cost of 130 million euros ($147.6 million), this large-scale project, launched by Lydec in May 2011 and completed in May 2015, spans a distance of 24 km.

 

By preserving the coast, this project will contribute to the urban rehabilitation of the city's entire eastern coastline, beautify and revitalize the seaboard, and improve the population's standard of living.

 

The East Coast Anti-Pollution System will also accept wastewater from the new urban development zones, thus preventing direct discharges into the sea.
