Dutch company to study installation of sulphur removal facility at Industrial City of Abu Dhabi

Netherlands-based engineering company Tebodin has won early-stage contracts on two new energy projects in the UAE, according to an industry source familiar with the deals.

The firm won a front-end engineering and design (feed) contract from state-owned Abu Dhabi Gas Industries (Gasco) on a gas treatment project.

The feed study, which started in November, covers facilities for the removal of hydrogen sulphide (H2S) from gas being piped to Industrial City of Abu Dhabi (ICAD) in Mussafah.

The removal unit will have a capacity of 45 million cubic feet a day (cf/d) with scope to increase this to 90 million cf/d in the future if required. Gasco is also installing facilities to remove black powder from the feed gas.

The feed study being carried out by Tebodin is expected to require about 7,000 man hours.

Tebodin was also awarded a contract by Dolphin Energy for detailed engineering on a gas pipeline project in Fujairah.

Dolphin Energy is installing a permanent pigging facility at a pipeline delivering gas to Abu Dhabi Water & Electricity Company’s (Adwec) power plant. Pigging facilities are used to perform maintenance operations on a pipeline without stopping the flow of products.

Tebodin will handle the design, engineering and preparations of all required specification and invitation to tender (ITT) for the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) phase.

The contract was started in November and is expected to be completed in December 2014 requiring 4,000 man hours.

In September, Tebodin won a detailed engineering contract on a new carbon capture use and storage (CCUS) project at Abu Dhabi’s steel complex.

Tebodin, headquartered in The Hague, is owned by German engineering and construction group Bilfinger.
