Context

This AMIRAL Project, jointly developed by Saudi Aramco and Total, will be a large-scale integrated petrochemical facility (including a mixed feed cracker, downstream derivatives units, integration, utilities, and other support facilities).

The project is located adjacent to and integrated with the Jubail Export Refinery currently owned and operated by Saudi Aramco & Total Refining and Petrochemical Company (SATORP); a Saudi Aramco and Total joint venture.

The existing (and future) industries are (and will be) located at the AL-Jubail Industrial City II industrial area, established west of Jubail, on the east coast of The Kingdom and will be subject to regulation by the Royal Commission for Jubail And Yanbu (RCJY).

The project involves developing a wastewater treatment and reuse plant to receive wastewater and spent caustic streams from facilities at the AMIRAL site, recover a target of 70% of the flows, and deliver demineralized water to clients.

The main treatment process includes:

1. Flow balancing of influent streams
2. Catalytic oxidation and cyanide treatment
3. DAF clarification for TSS oily waste removal
4. Biological treatment / MBBR and Bio-DAF clarification
5. Submerged Ultra-Filtration (SUF) pre-treatment for high-grade reuse stream
6. Reverse osmosis for removal of soluble salts to produce high-grade process water for reuse
7. Mixed Bed Ion Exchange (MBIX) to generate high-grade demineralized water for reuse
8. Brine treatment through Multilfo, Ozonation, BAF, break point chlorination, and GAC
9. Sludge dewatering

The project will be developed under a non-recourse project finance scheme, with Veolia and MARAFIQ as sponsors. A project company will be established to deliver the project within the required timeframe.
