GASCO awards Dh4 billon contracts for Sulphur plant projects
Abu Dhabi, Jan 2, 2011 (WAM)- Abu Dhabi Gas Industries Ltd. (GASCO) has confirmed the award of the Habshan Sulphur Station and Pipelines and Ruwais Sulphur Handling Terminal -2 contracts for Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Commissioning (EPC) works for the SHR Granulated Sulphur Transportation and Management Project on Lump Sum Turnkey Basis.
The Shah and Habshan Rail (SHR) Granulated Sulphur Transportation '&' Management Project will transport granulated sulphur from Shah and Habshan Stations to Ruwais export terminal(s) via rail network and will replace the current transportation of liquid sulphur via tankers to Ruwais.
Liquid sulphur produced at the Shah and Habshan Processing Plants will be transported via pipelines to the Shah and Habshan Granule Plants to be granulated and loaded into railcars. The granulated sulphur will then be transported via the Union Railway system to the Sulphur Terminal in Ruwais where it will be unloaded and exported by ship to international market, said a press release from GASCO.
The main track line connecting the new Habshan and Shah Granule Plants to Ruwais will be designed, constructed and operated by Union Railways.
The details of Habshan Sulphur Station and Ruwais Sulphur Terminal Packages which are awarded and managed by GASCO are as follows: The Habshan Sulphur Granule Plant and Pipelines facility will be a new green field plant located approximately 16 km south south east of the existing Habshan Gas Plant Complex and about 32 km south of the intersection of Highway E11 and Tarif (Abu Al Abyadh).
The Habshan Sulphur Granule Plant will have a capacity of receiving, processing and granulating 11,000 tpd of liquid sulphur from Habshan Gas Plants and also includes Storage of Liquid Sulphur and Granulated Sulphur, Blocking, railcar loading and generation of required utilities.. The liquid sulphur from Habshan Gas Plants to Habshan Sulphur Stations will be transferred through liquid sulphur pipelines which will be based on SEET (Skin Effect Electrical Tracing) Technology.
The EPC Contract has been awarded to M/s Dodsal on 28.12.2010 at a Contract Price of approx. US$479 MM (about Dh1.75 Billion) with a completion schedule of 31 months.
The Sulphur Handling Terminal-2 (SHT-2) Plant facility will be a new green field plant located in the Ruwais industrial area approximately 165 km west southwest of Abu Dhabi City.
Granulated sulphur will be transported by rail from Habshan and Shah areas to a new Sulphur Handling Terminal (SHT-2) located approximately 4.5 km southeast of the existing GASCO Sulphur Handling Terminal (SHT). The SHT-2 facility is designed for receive 22,000 tonnes per day of granulated sulphur from both Shah and Habshan Sulphur Granule Plants The facilities include the rail unloading, granule storage and ship loading of elemental granular sulphur from railcars, and the supply of utilities from existing facilities within the Ruwais industrial area.
Granulated sulphur unloaded from railcars is stacked / reclaimed from the storage buildings, and then transported by conveyors to one of the two quadrant style ship-loaders for discharge into ships for export to international market.
The EPC Contract has been awarded on 28.12.2010 to the Consortium of M/s Techint, Italy and Al Jaber Energy Services, Abu Dhabi at a Contract Price of approx. US$614 MM (about Dh2.25 Billion) with a completion period of 36 months.
The initial Phase of the Projects execution will commence from the Contractors Home Office in Milan Italy and will later on move to the Sites at Habshan for construction activities.
GASCO will direct its EPC Contractors to maximise in these projects the local contents in terms of materials, equipment and services.
These EPC Works will deploy large number of workforce of labour, technicians and supervisors to the tune of about 5,000 at the peak of construction activities. Of these, about -3000 persons will be in Habshan while about 2000 persons will be in Ruwais.
The Front End Engineering Design (FEED) for the SHR Project was completed in Mid 2010 and during execution of FEED high significance was been given to HSE aspects in order to eliminate and adverse impact on the environment and the surrounding community in line with ADNOC HSE Code of Practices.
These Projects will also provide excellent opportunities to UAE Nationals for training and learning new technologies and especially in sulphur environment through exposure and interaction with specialists of these Engineering Companies. This will enable them to enhance their competencies and expertise in the area of Sulphur Management and also to take on the responsibilities in Operation and Maintenance. - Emirates News Agency, WAM
