ABOUT VEOLIA WATER TECHNOLOGIES
DETAILS
Veolia chosen to engineer and deliver
a large scale wastewater treatment plant
for Aramco’s Jazan refinery in Saudi Arabia
The Jazan complex will feature a power plant
with a total capacity of 4,000 MW.
Veolia will engineer and procure
a wastewater treatment facility for the power plant,
which will feature
* biological treatment,
* oily water treatment and
* metal removal treatment.
The facility will be commissioned in 2017.
Saudi Aramco is the state-owned oil company
of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and a fully integrated,
global petroleum and chemicals enterprise.
Vincent Caillaud,
CEO of Veolia Water Technologies Oil & Gas
“Veolia is privileged to have a long-standing relationship
with Saudi Aramco, built on our strong
local presence and technological excellence.
We are very happy to have been chosen
by and to collaborate with
Tecnicas Reunidas on this major project
which will help meet the Kingdom’s energy demand
and also export high-value fuels
to international markets.”
With operations in Saudi Arabia for more than 30 years,
Veolia operates city water management,
waste and cooling urban network services.
In 2008 in particular, the Group won a contract
with National Water Company (NWC)
to improve the overall performance of the water
and wastewater services used by
nearly 6 million people in the Saudi capital, Riyadh.
This project greatly improved
the drinking water network performance (now 82%),
connected more than 100,000 households
to the sewerage system, and
improved customer management
(now 85% customer satisfaction).
Particularly involved in desalination projects
in the Kingdom, Veolia also supports
numerous industrial customers, especially
in the oil, gas and mining sectors,
to help them improve their environmental performance.
Veolia has worked on several projects
for Saudi Aramco, including
a desalination plant
which supplies the Sadara petrochemical complex
built by Dow Chemical and Saudi Aramco
in Jubail City.
Veolia’s specialized subsidiary SIDEM,
present in Saudi Arabia since 1979,
has also built the desalination plant
for the city of Al Khobar in the Eastern Province,
near the Arabo-Persian Gulf.
In 2010, Sidem had already built in Jubail City
one of the largest and most efficient
desalination plants in the world.
This 800,000 m3 per day capacity plant
uses Veolia's multiple-effect distillation (MED) process,
which consumes three times less energy
than rival processes.
Technological details:
The 1,000 m3/h biological treatment package
will include state-of-the-art
Veolia proprietary technologies such as
AnoxKaldnes™ Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR),
Actiflo® and Multiflo™ high-rate clarifiers
Oily water treatment will be achieved by combining
two Veolia technologies developed specifically
for the Oil & Gas market:
the MPP TiPSS Tilted Plate Interceptor (TPI)
and the Whittier Power Clean® technology,
which is a nutshell filter media, designed
for effective removal of oil and suspended solids.
Finally, Multiflo and various chemicals
will be used in the third treatment step
to remove metals.
The deoiling and metal removal treatment steps
will both have a capacity of 550 m3/h.
