The expansion of Western Desert Gas Complex (WDGC) is located in El-Amreya, Alexandria, Egypt. Once operational, the new Train D will increase WDGC’s production capacity to 1.5 bcfd, up from the current 950 MMcfd, with a capacity of 600 MMcfd. This expansion will not only boost the supply of ethane-propane mixture for Egyptian petrochemical producers but also increase WDGC’s production of LPG and condensates for the local market.
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 involves fitting scrubbers onto container ships totaling a capacity of 8.09 million TEU. This initiative aims to comply with a new regulation enforced by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) since January 1st, 2020, which mandates an 85% reduction in sulfur emissions from shipping companies. The goal is to mitigate the sector’s environmental impact and enhance air quality. Scrubbers offer an effective solution for controlling emissions from large vessels by filtering exhaust gases produced during fuel combustion, thereby reducing pollution.
