Jordan’s phosphate industry is a critical engine of economic growth. At its core, sustainable water management is not a secondary consideration, but the operational backbone that enables continued growth. 
 
The Eshidiya Phosphate Mines project, located 125 km northeast of Aqaba, represents one of the most significant industrial water interventions in the region. Designed to treat approximately 10,800 cubic meters of industrial wastewater daily and return it to drinking-water standards, the facility enables full reuse across phosphate washing operations in one of the world’s most water-stressed environments.

Delivered under a Design, Build, Own, Operate, and Transfer (DBOOT) model, the project reflects Engicon O&M’s decisive role not only in engineering and construction, but in long-term operational performance. Over a 20-year lifecycle, the plant is projected to reduce freshwater consumption by 70%, saving approximately 7,500 cubic meters per day while preserving critical groundwater reserves.

Fully automated and integrating advanced treatment technologies including High Concentration Thickeners, Lamella Clarifiers, Media Filters, Ultrafiltration, and Reverse Osmosis, the facility establishes a new benchmark for industrial water stewardship in the mining sector.

More than infrastructure, this project represents a sustained operational partnership, ensuring reliability, environmental compliance, and performance optimization for decades to come.
