Evoqua will provide its Vent-Scrub Vapor Phase carbon adsorption systems to remove hydrogen sulfide, mercaptans and other sour gases created as byproducts of the refining process.
The contract includes eight Vent-Scrub VSC-200 units, four VSC-2000 units, and two VSC-8000 units, to be manufactured at Evoqua’s facility in Red Bluff, California, USA and distributed through Evoqua’s Singapore operations.
Evoqua will also supply nearly 15 tons of its VOCarb 48C coconut shell-based granular activated carbon (GAC).
Scheduled for commissioning in late 2016, the SRIP project will add five new units to the Sohar refinery, improving its production volume, environmental performance and ability to process heavier Omani crude oil. Evoqua will provide the equipment to an energy contractor of the EPC that is directing the project for Orpic, the owner of the refinery.
“This project will help Orpic reach the next level in responsible energy production,” said Chris Rinaldi, VP and general manager of Evoqua Environmental Solutions. “We’re proud to be part of this important growth effort that is committed to sustainable practices.”
