ProSep wins contract from Shell Canada for Carmon Creek project
market prospects automation system. The boiler plant will have a steam production of 320 tons per hour, which corresponds to thermal capacity of 248 MW. The new unit will replace four existing pulverized coal fired boilers. The boiler plant is scheduled to be started up during 2016.
SNC-Lavalin will provide project management consultancy services for the front-end engineering design (FEED) and engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) stages of the expansion project.

NC-Lavalin Inc has secured a contract from Abu Dhabi Oil Co Ltd (Japan) (ADOC) to provide project management consultancy services for an expansion aimed at increasing production from oilfields located offshore of the United Arab Emirates. ADOC is currently operating the Mubarraz, Umm Al Anbar and Neewat AlGhalan offshore fields in the Persian Gulf. The company is planning to increase oil production from these existing oilfields and develop the Hail oilfield as part of their expansion project. In order to achieve the higher production, ADOC is considering an expansion of the hydrocarbon handling capacity of the existing facilities at Mubarraz and the Umm Al Anbar Site Terminal. 4

eolia has been awarded a US$73 million contract by Ecopetrol America Inc to provide equipment and services that will be used to treat the produced water from Ecopetrol SA’s Castilla oil fields in Colombia’s Llanos Basin, southeast of Bogota. Under the contract, Veolia will design and supply the equipment and material, supervise installation and commissioning, start-up, pre-operate and assist in the operations. Veolia will provide an integrated system to remove and recover oil from the produced water, treat sludge and cool the water prior to discharge. The project is divided into three trains, each with eight Corrugated Plate Interceptor units, 15 AutoFlot Induced Gas Flotation Units and 13 PowerClean walnut shell filters, followed by cooling towers. Veolia will provide engineering and raw materials to interconnect the treatment equipment and automation systems for control. Sludge will be treated by specialised equipment designed to recover liquid and reduce sludge volume.

Veolia to supply new black liquor evaporation system to Brazil
K
labin SA will use Veolia’s HPD black liquor evaporation and process technology for its mill project in Ortigueira, Paraná, Brazil. The new, seven-effect system will have an evaporation capacity of 1700 tons per hour and will include several integrated features to optimise the recovery process. When the project is completed in early 2016, the mill will have an annual pulp production capacity of 1.5 million metric tons. The HPD evaporation system is designed to process weak black liquor to 80% total solids and will utilize falling film technology. A switching system used above critical solids will provide for a continuous wash of one of the four first-effect concentrator bodies. The system is designed to minimise total steam and power usage, as well as boilout requirements while maintaining high, on-stream delivery of 80% liquor to the boiler.
