Wood wins significant decarbonisation project in the Middle East
Wood has secured a contract worth around $17 million from a leading petrochemical company in the Middle East to improve efficiency and reduce emissions on a process manufacturing plant.
Under this 18-month contract, Wood is providing consultancy and engineering services, process technology and specialist equipment to enhance operations by adding a new heat recovery unit to an existing process plant. Wood’s solution is estimated to drive a reduction of around 110 kilo-tonnes per annum of CO2 emissions: the equivalent of removing 22,000 cars from the road.
As part of the scope, Wood delivered a series of innovative feasibility studies and an early engineering package, designing a complex system to effectively collect the high-temperature flue gas and deliver it to a waste heat recovery transfer system to generate medium-pressure steam.
Daniel Carter, President of Technical Consulting at Wood, said: “Optimising process technologies and equipment can deliver quick and immediate wins, offering a cost-effective way to significantly reduce emissions in industrial facilities.
“With the Middle East continuing to play a leading role in driving global decarbonisation, we’re focused on identifying the most promising and practical decarbonisation pathways for our clients to achieve their carbon reduction goals without compromising their efficiencies or cost drivers.”
Wood has a long track record of supporting clients through a full range of propriety process technologies and products, including complex heater systems, having installed more than 3,000 fired heaters and 450 heat recovery units worldwide.
