Amec Foster Wheeler named owner’s engineer for Chilean LNG project
A
mec Foster Wheeler has won an owner’s engineer contract from GNL Quintero to provide engineering services for the expansion of its Quintero regasification terminal in Chile. Under the contract, Amec Foster Wheeler will participate in the engineering, procurement and construction bid evaluation, as well as providing engineering services. The expansion involves the construction of a third storage tank and additional equipment to increase the regasification capacity. Amec Foster Wheeler also served as owner’s engineer during the first expansion of the plant and LNG truck-loading facility. Regasification capacity of imported LNG at Quintero’s terminal was expanded in 2015 from 10 million cubic metres per day (MMm3/d) to 15 MMm3/d. This latest expansion will increase the terminal’s capacity to 20 MMm3/d.
GNL Quintero is the first landbased receiving, unloading, storage and regasification terminal of LNG in the southern hemisphere. It is a joint venture of Enap (20%), Enagás (40%) and Terminal de Valparaíso (40%).

Veolia technology to treat effluent at Munksjö’s Tolosa mill in Spain
P
aper products manufacturer Munksjö has selected Veolia Water Technologies’ AnoxKaldnes MBBR process to treat effluent at its Tolosa mill in Spain. Munksjö is expanding the industrial wastewater treatment plant at the Tolosa mill in Guipúzcoa. The new installation, with a capacity of 200 m3/hour, will use AnoxKaldnes MBBR for biological treatment and Actiflo for ballasted water clarification and settling. These two Veolia proprietary technologies will allow for the removal of the dissolved chemical oxygen demand (COD) and the suspended particulate matter, obtaining a high-quality effluent, surpassing the current local standards for river discharge. Veolia’s solution includes the new generation of Z-MBBR carriers. The
