Nutara NV will be responsible for the design, construction and operation and maintenance of the facility. The plant will use Nutara’s proprietary Enhanced Reactive Thermal Oxidation technology. This Best Available Technology will eliminate the sulfur emissions to below the legal limits – resulting in a 99.5% reduction of the emissions – with minimal use of natural resources.
