2001年5月，由穆罕默德·阿卜杜勒·莫辛·哈拉菲父子公司（Mohammed Abdulmohsin Al-Kharafi&Sons）领导的一个财团 哈拉菲集团（Kharafi Group）赢得了科威特政府30年的特许权，以收回 科威特市及其周边地区的市政废水。联合体将 设计、建造、拥有、运营和维护每天1亿加仑（mgd）（375 ML/天）科威特市附近苏莱比亚的废水处理设施。扩张是 已计划达到160 mgd的总容量。Sulaibiya设施将是 世界上最大的膜式水回收设施。纯净水来自 Sulaibiya设施将用于目前影响环境的非饮用用途 饮用水供应。然而，创新的系统设计将产生 符合更严格的饮用水质量标准。 作者的公司将从三个不同的角度参与该项目: 作为项目公司25%的股权合伙人；作为产品的设计师和供应商 基于反渗透（RO）和超滤（UF）膜的水净化 系统；作为该设施膜部分的运营商，在过去27.5年中 合同期。哈拉菲集团已经成立了一家独立的合资公司 建设土建工程和设施基础设施以及项目的其他部分 项目该工厂预计将于2004年底开始运营。 该项目有望为成功的项目提供基准和催化剂 在中东地区实施类似的BOT项目，特别是 由于该地区水资源短缺，相关的。包括参考、表格、图表。

In May 2001, a consortium led by Mohammed Abdulmohsin Al-Kharafi & Sons (the Kharafi Group) won a 30-year concession from the Kuwait government to recover municipal wastewater from Kuwait City and the surrounding area. The consortium will design, build, own, operate and maintain a 100 million gallon per day (mgd) (375 ML/day) wastewater treatment facility at Sulaibiya near Kuwait City. Expansion is already planned to reach a total capacity of 160 mgd. The Sulaibiya facility will be the largest membrane-based water reclamation facility in the world. The purified water from the Sulaibiya facility will be used for non-potable uses that are currently impacting the drinking water supply. However, an innovative system design will produce water that complies with the more stringent drinking water quality standards. The authors' companies will participate in the project from three different perspectives: as a 25% equity partner in the project company; as the designer and supplier of the reverse osmosis (RO) and ultrafiltration (UF) membrane-based water purification systems; and, as an operator of the membrane portion of the facility over the 27.5 year contract period. The Kharafi Group has formed a separate joint venture company to construct the civil works and facility infrastructure as well as other portions of the project. The plant is expected to begin operation by the end of 2004. This project is expected to provide the benchmark and catalyst for the successful implementation of similar BOT projects in the Middle East region, which are particularly relevant due to the scarcity of water in the area.
