Qatar Kentz has secured a contract with Qatargas to provide engineering, procurement, supply, construction, and commissioning services of a water recycling facility at Laffan Refinery 2 in Ras Laffan Industrial City.
The facility has been designed to handle the treated industrial water from two refineries, Laffan Refinery 1, currently in operation and Laffan Refinery 2 which is under construction.
It will also help in reducing the water consumption of these two refineries and eliminating the discharge of treated industrial water.
The Laffan Refineries 1 and 2 intend to use the recycled water as boiler feed water and cooling water.
Qatargas said that the facility is in accordance with the Qatar Ministry of Environment’s directive to reuse the treated industrial water produced from industrial plants.
It will be installed inside the Laffan Refinery 2 and is scheduled to be operational at the end of 2016.
Laffan Refinery 2 is a joint venture between Qatar Petroleum, Total, Idemitsu, Cosmo, Marubeni and Mitsui.
Once completed, the refinery will process an additional 146 thousand barrels per day of condensate recovered from the North Field and would double the capacity of Laffan Refinery 1.
The refinery is expected to have the capacity to process an additional 146,000 barrels per stream day (BPSD).
The latest environmental project is expected to support the Qatar National Vision 2030 objectives to protect the environment and promote a sustainable development for future generations.
