Project to be undertaken for Bechtel at Liquefied Natural
Gas plant in Darwin
Metito, a world leader in water, waste water and desalination treatment
projects and technology, has won a Dhs 5.75 million contract to
install a specialised water treatment plant for a Liquefied Natural
Gas Plant in the northern Australian city of Darwin.
The contract is being undertaken on behalf of Bechtel and includes
the creation of a specialised demineralization plant for use by
the Darwin Liquid Natural Gas Company.
Metito and Bechtel are already working closely on a number of projects
in Egypt including another liquefied natural gas project in Alexandria
and the massive Port Ghalib leisure development in the south of
the country.
The scope of work for the Darwin plant includes the provision of
a state of the art demineralization plant that will feature a reverse
osmosis system followed by the latest technology electro-deionization
process. In addition, Metito will provide antifoam and hypochlorite
metering packages and an on-site sewage treatment works.
Reverse osmosis technology is used by Metito on projects all over
the world to provide clean water that can be used for a range of
services. In Darwin they will further treat the water using electro-deionization
to enhance the purity of the water to levels that can be used for
specialised industrial purposes. The plant being installed in Australia
will generate up to 162,000 gallons of demineralised water every
day.
The project is the second that Metito has undertaken in Australia.
Engineering and execution of the project will be carried out of
the company’s headquarters in the UAE.
Metito (Overseas) Limited Director for Business Development Bassem
Halabi said: “As a world leader in the application of Reverse
Osmosis technology, we are very proud to be using this technique
combined with the latest EDI (electro-deionization) technology to
create the high purity degree of water required.
“We have extensive experienced in this sector around the
world and have worked a great deal with companies in the petrochemicals
and oil exploration sectors. A project of this nature requires highly
specialised systems and equipment to meet the most demanding international
environmental standards — standards that are fully met by
all Metito projects.”
As the leading international company in its field Metito currently
operates its European, Asian and African operations from its regional
headquarters in Sharjah and has a factory and laboratory facility
in the Hamriya Free Zone with project management capabilities to
undertake projects worldwide.
