TechnipFMC (Paris, France; www.technipfmc.com) has been awarded by Zakum Development Co. an engineering, procurement and construction contract (EPC3) project) for a sulfate-reduction plant on West Island located offshore Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The objective of the EPC3 project is the installation of a sulfate-reduction plant module (SRP) along with new installations and tie-in to existing facilities in West Island. The SRP module incorporates cutting edge water-treatment technologies with advanced filtration and nano-filtration systems. These systems are used for water injection into Upper Zakum western areas reservoir tight structure, which requires high quality water with less sulfate content and particle size.
