Corodex wins award for 'green' wastewater system

DUBAI, December 15, 2014

Corodex Industries, part of Concorde-Corodex Group (CCG), one of the Middle East’s pioneering providers of water, wastewater treatment and environmental services, has won the Manufacturer of the Year award in the air treatment category at this year’s Climate Control Awards in Dubai, UAE.

The award, which was given at a gala ceremony held in November, was conferred in recognition of the company’s innovative installation of a biological odour control plant in the UAE.

Corodex Industries designed an innovative bio-friendly technology of removing contaminants from air streams by means of sulphur-reducing bacteria and other types of bacteria for Sharjah Municipality, Dubai Municipality, Haya, and other municipalities in the region.

The innovation was a breakaway from the conventional odour control technologies such as chemical scrubbers and carbon adsorption for treating odorous air in wastewater treatment plants, pumping stations and lifting stations.

“We are truly honoured to be given this award from Climate Control Middle East, which recognises our continuing focus on innovation and breaking barriers when it comes to the development of engineering solutions,” said Mahmoud Awad, managing director of Concorde-Corodex Group.

"We developed this technology with the aim of exploring different means available to reduce operational costs involved since conventional technologies, such as chemical oxidation and absorption technologies, are very high in operational expenditure," stated Awad.

“In addition, these processes force you to use chemicals with the chemical absorption which cost money and more significantly, involve environment, health and safety risks. We found a solution that is slightly expensive in capital cost but considerably low in operational and maintenance costs,” he explained.

The annual Climate Control Awards is organised by CPI Industry, the publishers of Climate Control Middle East magazine. This year's edition of the awards saw its largest attendance ever with over 400 attendees coming from all over the globe and 31 categories in competition.-TradeArabia News Service
