MUSKI, the Metropolitan Municipality of Muğla's water board in Turkey, is looking to optimise the water and wastewater services in the province it serves.
MUSKI supplies water to a population varying from 1 million in the low season to 6 million in the tourist season over contrasting topography reaching 13,000 km².
- The operator is faced with many issues, including:
- water scarcity and salinisation;
- high operational costs (cost of energy to pump water);
- regulatory requirements requiring ambitious improvements in a short time.
Our solution
In this context, Seureca assisted MUSKI with an overall assessment, an operational audit, and a study of carbon and water footprints in order to define a strategic plan and priority areas for treatment integrating:
- optimised operational performance;
- improved water resource management and energy consumption;
- optimised management of sludge from wastewater treatment plants in the region with a sludge recovery strategy;
- reduced greenhouse gas emissions from its activities.
