Mellitah Plant – Upgrade of Let Down Station for Local Market Gas Supply
The project aims to replace the temporary Let Down Station, installed in 2015, with permanent pressure reduction facilities at the expansion area of GS. This upgrade is intended to transport gas to the local market and supply the existing Sirte Oil Company (SOC) coastal gas pipeline with an increased capacity of 19.5 MSm3/d of sales gas at a higher pressure of 51 Bar.
The project consists of two plants: one for producing linear polyethylene (PEL) and another for producing polypropylene (PP), each with an annual production capacity of 300,000 tons.
Both plants utilize cutting-edge technologies that ensure top energy efficiency. These technologies are leading in the market and are the first of their kind to be implemented on the Iberian Peninsula.
The world’s largest sea water reverse osmosis desalination plant (RO), boasting a capacity of 200 MIGD (909,200 cubic meters of water per day). This plant surpasses the world’s current largest RO facility by 44% in terms of capacity. The Taweelah plant is poised to establish new benchmarks for water production efficiency and cost, thanks to its utilization of RO technology instead of thermal desalination.
