POWERCHINA Helps Water Supply in Guyana

The Uitvlugt water treatment plant of the UDS water supply project in Guyana was completed and delivered to its buyer on Feb 22 local time.

Featuring a settling tank and four filters, the plant can treat as much as 10,000 tons of water per day. The four water supply pumps and the 450 kW diesel-driven generator system ensure a stable water supply for 24 hours.

The plant is also supported by sodium hypochlorite and calcium hypochlorite electrolysis circuits which can add chlorine stably and sterilize pathogenic microorganism in the water.

It is expected that the plant can provide 20,000 residents in surrounding areas with clean and stable water.

Contracted by Power Construction Corporation of China (POWERCHINA), the total UDS project includes construction of water treatment facilities in Uitvlugt, Diamond and Sheet Anchor as well as an 18-kilometer water supply pipeline.

Upon completion, the three water plants will greatly relieve water shortages for the 70,000 local residents by provision of clean water.
