Jacobs to complete feasibility study for Borealis chemical plant in Belgium
J
acobs Engineering Group Inc is to undertake a feasibility study for a propane dehydrogenation (PDH) plant at the Borealis production site in Kallo, Belgium. As part of the study, Jacobs is preparing a front-end-loading stage 2 (FEL-2) conceptual design package for the outside battery limit areas of the plant and is complementing the process design package for the inside battery limit areas of the plant being prepared by Borealis’s technology provider. The study should be completed by mid2017. The new PDH will have a targeted annual production capacity of 740 kilotons per annum, making it one of the largest and most efficient facilities in the world.
MINING
AquaVenture seals Peruvian acquisition
A
quaVenture Holdings Ltd’s Seven Seas Water business has completed the acquisition of Aguas de Bayovar SAC (ADB) and all of the rights and obligations under a design and construction contract for a desalination plant and related infrastructure located in Peru. ADB supplies seawater and desalinated process water to Compañía Minera Miski Mayo SRL (CMMM), which uses the water to operate its Bayovar phosphate mine. The mine is located in North Western Peru approximately 600 miles north of Lima. ADB has the capacity to deliver over 7.9 million gallons per day (GPD) (30 000 m3/d) of seawater to the mine via a 24 mile (39 km) pipeline and 2.7 million GPD (10 400 m3/d) of desalinated process water from a seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) facility located at the mine site. Seven Seas Water plans to improve the operating efficiency of the desalination plant, which is expected to lower costs, increase reliability, and provide higher minimum supply volumes to CMMM.
This is Seven Seas Water’s second desalination plant in South America. The acquisition expands the company’s base of facilities that provide Water-as-a-Service (WAAS) solutions to its customers. The aggregate purchase price for the acquisition was approximately US$46 million in cash. Doug Brown, chairman and CEO of AquaVenture Holdings, said: “As we expand operations to service the mining industry in South America, we believe that our expertise in offering WAAS will greatly contribute to increasing production and capital efficiency in mining. We have had great success providing purified water to our industrial and municipal clients since 2007, and we are confident in our ability to provide the same level of service to the mining sector.”
OIL & GAS
Canadian refinery to recycle its water with GE technologies
G
E’s Water & Process Technologies will provide wastewater and chemical treatment technologies for North West Redwater (NWR) Partnership’s new Sturgeon refinery in Alberta, Canada, allowing it to meet its sustainability and environmental goals and the province’s stringent regulations. To minimize the use of freshwater, GE’s Water & Process Technologies will provide water treatment systems with process water from the refinery being treated and recycled multiple times. Surface water runoff from the facility will be contained in the retention ponds and used for process purposes to reduce the water withdrawal from the North Saskatchewan River. The ultrafiltration and membrane bioreactor technology will allow NWR to meet its recycling challenges.
