Aramco chooses Veolia for Jazan refinery wastewater treatment plant
Veolia, through its subsidiary Veolia Water Technologies, has been chosen by contractor Tecnicas Reunidas to engineer and procure a wastewater treatment plant for the Jazan Refinery and Terminal in Saudi Arabia. Jazan Refinery and Terminal, wholly owned and operated by Saudi Aramco, is a new refinery and terminal in the Kingdom’s southwest with an expected capacity to process 400,000 bpd of Arabian Heavy and Arabian Medium crude once commissioned in 2017.
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.
“Veolia is privileged to have a long-standing relationship with Saudi Aramco, built on our strong local presence and technological excellence,” Vincent Caillaud, CEO of Veolia Water Technologies Oil & Gas, said. “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.
