Nutara NV to Build Hazardous Waste Processing Plant for Leading Petrochemical Complex in the Middle East
Nutara NV based in Lier, Belgium has secured a contract for a hazardous waste treatment plant in Oman. The installation will eliminate hazardous waste and effluents generated by the new Liwa Plastics Industries Complex, currently under construction by Oman's Oil Refineries and Petroleum Industries Company at Sohar, Oman.
Nutara NV will be responsible for the engineering, procurement and construction of the facility, under a subcontract awarded by the CB&I-CTCI Joint Venture. The plant will use Nutara’s proprietary Rotary Kiln Enhanced Thermal Oxidation technology. This Best Available Technology ensures the complete destruction (99.9999%) of the hazardous wastes, eliminates the emissions to atmosphere to less than 10% of the legal limits and is completely wastewater free.
The Liwa Plastics Industries Complex represents a $6.5 billion investment by ORPIC that will create an estimated 12,000 indirect jobs in and around Sohar. It is the single largest investment by ORPIC. Once the plants are commissioned and completed in 2020, LPIC will change Orpic’s product mix by extracting more value from natural gas and crude oil. As part of an integrated complex that also houses the Sohar refinery, aromatics plant, polypropylene and steam cracker unit for LPIC, ORPIC’s operations will be one of the most integrated refinery and petrochemical operations in the region and will enable the company to extract the maximum value from Oman’s oil and gas.
In 2015, ORPIC awarded four contracts for engineering, procurement and contracting (EPC) packages worth $4.5 billion for Liwa Plastics Industries Complex Project to CB&I and CTCI Corporation joint venture (steam cracker and utilities), Tecnimont (Plastics unit), GS Engineering and Construction and Mitsui joint venture (NGL Extraction) and Punj Lloyd (NGL pipeline). Construction started on October 10th 2016 and completion is expected by 2020.
