Context
This AMIRAL Project, jointly developed by Saudi Aramco and Total, will be a large-scale integrated petrochemical facility (including a mixed feed cracker, downstream derivatives units, integration, utilities, and other support facilities).
- This is located adjacent to and integrated with the Jubail Export Refinery currently owned and operated by Saudi Aramco & Total Refining and Petrochemical Company (SATORP); a Saudi Aramco and Total joint venture.
- The existing (and future) industries are (and will) be located at the AL-Jubail Industrial City II industrial area, established west of Jubail, on the east coast of The Kingdom and will be subject to regulation by the Royal Commission for Jubail And Yanbu (RCJY).
The project is to develop a wastewater treatment and reuse plant to receive the wastewater and spent caustic streams from a series of plants located at the AMIRAL facility, recover a target of 70% of the flows, and deliver Demineralized water to the clients.
The main treatment process will include the following key stages:
- Flow Balancing of influent streams
- Catalytic Oxidation and Cyanide Treatment
- DAF clarification for TSS oily waste removal
- Biological Treatment / MBBR and Bio-DAF clarification
- Submerged Ultra-Filtration (SUF) pre-treatment for high grade reuse stream
- Reverse Osmosis for removal of soluble salts to produce high grade process water for reuse
- Mixed Bed Ion Exchange (MBIX) to generate a highgrade demineralised water for reuse.
- Brine will be treated through Multilfo, Ozonation, BAF, break point chlorination and GAC
- Sludge will be dewatered
The Project will be developed under a non-recourse project finance scheme, whose sponsors are Veolia and MARAFIQ. A project company will be established and resourced to deliver the project within the required timeframe.
