SNC-Lavalin (Montreal, Canada; www.snclavalin.com) has been awarded a contract by Qatargas for a water-recycling facility at its Laffan Refinery 2 plant in Ras Laffan Industrial City, Qatar. SNC-Lavalin is providing engineering, procurement, supply, construction and commissioning services for the recycling facility to handle treated industrial water from the Laffan Refineries 1 and 2. The contract is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2017.
The recycling system is designed to reuse treated industrial water produced by the industrial plants. The system mainly consists of ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis with ancillary facilities. Purified water will be recycled back to the petroleum refineries for use in the cooling and boiler feed water systems.
When completed, the Laffan Refinery 2 will process an additional 146,000 barrels per day of condensate recovered from the North Field, doubling the capacity of Laffan Refinery 1.
