CASE STUDY
Hospital Wastewater Treatment Plant for King Salman Specialized Hospital in Lusaka
A proposed 325 KLPD steel-tank wastewater treatment plant using IFAS biological treatment, designed around ZEMA discharge standards for responsible environmental discharge.
LOCATION
Lusaka, Zambia
INDUSTRY
Healthcare / Hospital
PLANT CAPACITY
325 KLPD Steel-Tank Wastewater Treatment Plant
FINAL WATER USE
Environmental Discharge
PROJECT OVERVIEW
A dedicated wastewater treatment solution for a healthcare environment
King Salman Specialized Hospital required a reliable wastewater treatment solution capable of managing wastewater generated by the hospital and its associated facilities in Lusaka, Zambia.
Effective treatment was essential to help protect the surrounding environment and ensure the final treated effluent was designed to meet the required ZEMA discharge standards.
Wastewater Treatment Overview

SEWTREAT’S SOLUTION
A 325 KLPD steel-tank wastewater treatment plant using IFAS
SewTreat proposed a 325 KLPD steel-tank wastewater treatment plant for King Salman Specialized Hospital.
Integrated Fixed-Film Activated Sludge (IFAS) forms the core biological treatment process. IFAS provides efficient biological treatment and supports the reliable reduction of organic pollutants within the wastewater.
The treated effluent is designed to meet the required ZEMA standards, supporting responsible environmental discharge.
