PROJECT DETAILS
Gulf Oil Recycling Factory (GORF) management brings in with it extensive working experiences at the process of sourcing and logistic management waste oil from various generators in the region. Based on the feasibility study completed, the management had perceived significant increase at the generation of waste oil, resulting from operation of field construction equipment along ongoing major constructions and from growing industrialization in Qatar. The management presently intends to establish a waste oil reprocessing and re-refining unit within the waste recycling industrial area identified within MIC.
Based on the vast experiences from handling and sourcing waste oil from various facilities, the team recognizes the need to manage receipt of waste oil with both moderate and high suspended solids contents during the plant operation for re-refining. Accordingly the need to have both batch operation plant and continuous operation plant of 25 KL capacity each is being planned at this upcoming facility. The continuous operation plant with the distillation column adopting the Wiped Film Evaporator (WFE), technology will cater to the waste oil with moderate solids level, while the batch process operation with a single stage distillation put to operation under two different temperature regime in sequence will support re-refining the stronger waste oil. The management of GORF intends to establish a batch process and continuous process line with each stream designed for 25 KL capacity per day to results at 50 KL per day and annual production of 15,000 KL through a 300 working day cycle per annum.
GORF management has retained the services of Qatar Design Consortium (QDC) to carry out the baseline environmental study and prepare an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) study report.
In order to relate the existing environment with the proposed project activity, it was imperative to carry out detail evaluation of the baseline environmental characteristics including: Ambient air Quality, Noise Level, Soil Quality, and Groundwater quality. Applicable regulatory requirements were reviewed and compiled before commencing a structured and detailed baseline studies and a refined modelling analysis has been conducted using AERMOD.
