 RISAL,
operating in Saudi since 1976
works, from locations throughout
the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,
offering a wide range of
industrial cleaning and waste
management services. This
agreement with Septech Emirates
improves RISAL's capacity to
offer an all-round waste
management package to its
clients. 'An integrated waste management and industrial cleaning approach provides the opportunity to assist clients in pursuing waste minimisation and recycling as well as other disposal options,' said David Heffernan, managing director, Septech Emirates. 'It is promising that the Governor of the Makkah region, Prince Abdul Majeed Bin Abdul Aziz has said the government has allocated SR1.1 billion for the implementation of sewerage disposal projects in Jeddah. We hope our experience and expertise will also contribute to benefiting the wider community of the Kingdom as a whole.' Septech Emirates has completed a variety of major projects in recent years, including Al Maha Desert Resort for Emirates Airlines, a treatment plant for the private palace of HH Dr Sheikh Sultan Al Qassimi, Ruler of Sharjah and City Centre for Majid Al Futtaim. The UAE-based company has also introduced BioSol to the region, a revolutionary, non-toxic product with the ability to 'switch off' bacteria and totally eradicate odour from waste water networks. As well as removing odour, BioSol significantly reduces costs associated with the corrosion of sewerage infrastructure by controlling sulfuric acid and H²S gas production. By reducing the potential for fats, oil and grease in the sewerage catchment, the likelihood of blockages and system build-ups are also reduced substantially. |

While
the removal of odour associated
with sewerage is a major benefit
BioSol, researched for more than
five years in Australia, also
improves effluent quality and
significantly reduces the need
for chemicals. This minimises
adverse affects on the
environment and as a non-toxic
product, poses no threat to
human health. Established by David Heffernan in the UAE seven years ago, Septech Emirates offers a tailor-made and complete solution to waste water infrastructure in the GCC region. The company was recently acquired through a management buyout by ABRAAJ Capital, a premiere investment firm that specialises in Private Equity Buyout investments in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region - EMI Info
