Haya Water has developed its pioneering Kala Composting Plant, that is located at Al Multaqa in Amerat, to enable the efficient re-use of sewage biosolids and green waste enabling their conversion to a compost product that can be used for agriculture, landscaping and for individual gardens.
As a result today 100 per cent of all sewage biosolids generated by the company’s water reuse treatment project is now treated and converted to compost – instead of being dumped into a landfill site as had been the practice in the past.
With Kala Compost the company is achieving the twin benefits of finding a practical way to reuse water and green waste that will benefit farmers, municipal authorities and individual gardeners, while finding a way to process waste that prevents the build-up of greenhouse gases.
Launched in December 2010, the product has also won the prestigious OER “Green Footprint Award” and is becoming increasingly popular with farmers in areas outside of Muscat – especially in the Batinah Coast region.
