procurement, construction and commissioning contract to allow for the timely start of work on the project in early 2006. The facility is scheduled for completion in 2009.
MARKET PROSPECTS
AKER KVAERNER WINS FURTHER POLYETHYLENE PROJECT Aker Kvaerner has signed a contract with PetroChina International Co Ltd for the basic engineering design and supply of equipment for a new full density Polyethylene plant at the Dushanzi complex in Xinjiang province, China. Aker Kvaerner will provide the basic engineering design, together with offshore equipment and material supply, from its offices in the Netherlands and China. Dushanzi is an integrated ethylene cracking complex with downstream facilities for the production of a wide range of polymer products. The new full density polyethylene plant consists of two lines each with a capacity of 300 000 tonnes per annum. The fast-track project begins this month. Plant start-up is expected in September 2008. This is the fourth polyolefin project to be awarded to Aker Kvaerner this year.

BLACK & VEATCH DESIGNS WATER PROJECT FACILITIES Black & Veatch Corp has got the go-ahead to proceed with the engineering design of a conveyance system that will deliver raw water from the Nacimiento Reservoir to water purveyors throughout San Luis Obispo County in California, USA. The San Luis Obispo County Flood Control and Water Conservation District awarded the global engineering, consulting and construction company the contract for the US$150 million Nacimiento Water Project. The Black & Veatch-led team will provide design and construction support services for the new water facilities. New facilities include a multiport water intake tower and pump station, approximately 45 miles of transmission pipeline, four storage tanks, two intermediate pump stations, turnouts, a control center, and SCADA and other project control facilities. The intake facility, a 170foot-deep, 30-foot-diameter vertical shaft connected to multiple horizontal intake tunnels, will allow water to be drawn from various depths of the reservoir for optimal water quality control. In addition to providing facilities design, the Black & Veatch team will manage the geotechnical and surveying aspects of the project. Design is scheduled for completion in the winter of 2006/07 and construction is expected to be completed in early 2010.
CHEMICALS DEGUSSAHEADWATERS BUILDING DEMO DSHP PLANT DegussaHeadwaters, a joint venture of Germany’s Degussa AG and Utah, USAbased Headwaters Inc, is building a demonstration plant for the direct synthesis of hydrogen peroxide (DSHP) in Hanau-Wolfgang, Germany. The joint venture company is currently developing a completely new method of synthesizing hydrogen peroxide for direct use as an oxidant in chemical processes. It is planning to build, own and operate DSHP plants for “over-the-fence” supply to chemical producers around the world. The initial phase of activity by DegussaHeadwaters was the construction and operation of a DSHP pilot plant. The pilot plant has successfully operated since the beginning of this year leading to the next step in commercial development, construction of a DSHP demonstration plant. The DSHP demonstration plant is scheduled to come on stream in the second quarter of 2006 and will be able to produce several thousand metric tons per year of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in methanol.
VEOLIA WATER WINS CHINESE WATER WORK Under a public private partnership Veolia Water has been awarded the contract to manage the water services for Changzhou, a fast-growing city of 1.2 million inhabitants, located in the Jiangsu Province, 100 kms from Shanghai.
The 30-year PPP contract is expected to generate total revenues of more than 800 million over the period. Under the terms of the contact, awarded after an international call for tender, Veolia Water has formed a partnership with the Hong Kong-based group Citic Pacific to acquire a 49% stake in the municipal company ChangZhou Tap Water Group. The city of ChangZhou retains the remaining 51%. Veolia Water will be responsible for managing the company, including 850 employees, whose brief is to produce and distribute drinking water (five plants with a global capacity of 790 000 m3/day and a 1750 km network). The contract to serve the city of Changzhou is the 16th awarded to Veolia Water in China following on from those recently signed with Urumqi and Handan.
PULP & PAPER METSO TO SUPPLY PAPER MAKING LINE TO CZECH REPUBLIC Metso Paper is to deliver a large paper making line to Myllykoski Corp in the Czech Republic. Although still awaiting final confirmation, project engineering has already started. Myllykoski is scheduling the line to come on stream in early 2007. The delivery will be valued at well over 200 million. The 380 000 tpy production line will produce a full range of uncoated publication papers. Metso’s scope of supply includes wood-handling and PGW plants; stock preparation; a 2000 m/min, 11.3-m-wide paper machine with on-machine calendering; winders and roll finishing systems.
