& Build Contract to Provide an Effluent Treatment Plant for the Pearl
GTL Complex in Qatar

The project issituated in Ras Laffan Industrial City, in north-east Qatar, 85km from the capital city of Doha.
Optimizing management of the water cycle with an objective of zero liquid discharge into the natural environment is a major aspect of the Pearl GTL project. Thus, the plant will be dedicated to the treatment and recycling of industrial effluents from this massive industrial complex.
The Pearl GTL project comprises the development of upstream gas production facilities and an onshore GTL plant that will produce 140,000 barrels per day of GTL products and approximately 120,000 barrels per day of condensate, liquefied petroleum gas and ethane. When completed, it should be the world's largest integrated GTL complex.
Veolia Water Solutions & Technologies will drive the design and completion of the effluent treatment plants supported by patented technologies from its subsidiaries OTV, HPD, Rossmark and Veolia Water STI, offering a unique portfolio of processes.
In particular, wastewater will be
treated by ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis, with the objective of
their complete reuse within the factory process. Thus, no liquid effluent
will be discharged into the natural environment. Sludge treatment will be
carried out by evaporation and crystallization, a technology achieving low
volumes of de-watered sludge and salt crystals.
