Veolia Environment's VE Veolia Water Solutions & Technologies
Brazil and Veolia Water Americas signed a contract with Petrobras PBR to design,
build, own and operate an oil-bearing secondary material processing unit at
its Alberto Pasqualini REFAP Refinery located in Porto Alegre, South Brazil.
It is the sixth largest of Petrobras' refineries with a capacity of 200,000
barrels/day. The new unit will use Veolia's proprietary processes to recycle
the oil-bearing material back into the refining production processes, which is
anticipated to result in approximately $1.5 million in annual cost savings.
The recycled oil-bearing materials from the refinery's crude processing
streams will be used in the refinery's coker unit. Veolia's proprietary
processes will help Petrobras increase its refining utilization, while at the
same time minimizing waste generation and thereby helping the environment.
The parts and equipment for the new unit are being manufactured both in the
United States and Brazil. The state-of-art processing unit is expected to
begin operations in November 2013. When fully operational, the unit is
anticipated to process approximately 6,200 barrels of oil-bearing material
each month, more than 74,000 barrels per year.
