Technip consortium to upgrade Vietnamese ammonia plant
T
echnip and Petrovietnam Technical Services Corp (PTSC) have been awarded an engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning contract by PetroVietnam Fertilizer and Chemicals Corp (PVFCCo) to upgrade the ammonia plant at the Phu My fertilizer complex, in southern Ba Ria-Vung Tau Province, Vietnam. The project will increase current ammonia output by 20% at the Phu My fertilizer complex using Haldor Topsoe technology. The ammonia will be used as feedstock for a new nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium plant to supply the domestic market. Technip’s operating centres in Rome, Italy; Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam will execute the contract. The expanded ammonia plant will be brought into operation in the second half of 2017.
filtration system for industrial water polishing. The H2F Vortisand is a crossflow microsand submicron filtration system. It is a high capacity, high flow automatic backwashable media filter that combines crossflow dynamics with microsand media to achieve submicron filtration at speeds up to 5 times faster than traditional multimedia filters. Solvay’s filtration challenge was to polish treated river water out of an existing clarifier/ thickener. The goal was to reduce the total suspended solids so that the water could be used for manufacturing processes. Neptune Benson proposed four H2F-600 filters to meet the filtration needs of the plant under varying operating conditions. The design of the H2F Vortisand eliminated the need for a clear well for backwash purposes, resulting in less capital investment and reducing water consumption. Due to tight space requirements, the design and engineering team decided on an inline configuration within a 40 ft custom designed container. The units will be fully pre-assembled, minimizing the installation cost and eliminating the need for a new building.
Veolia to treat Chinese BASF names Fluor as fertilizer producer’s global engineering wastewater partner
C
hina’s LiuGuo Chemical has selected Veolia, through its subsidiary Veolia China, to upgrade its industrial effluent treatment facilities in Anhui Province, under a E60 million contract. This follows on from a E30 million, 20-year contract signed in 2012 with the Chinese fertilizer producer for the operation of a wastewater treatment facility. Under this new 20-year contract, Veolia will build a 200 m3 per hour biological treatment plant to remove ammonia from wastewater.
