| Keppel wins contracts for environmental projects Keppel Seghers Belgium NV and Keppel Seghers Latinoamèrica SA, the environmental subsidiaries of Keppel Integrated Engineering Ltd (KIE), have secured two contracts worth nearly S$120 million respectively in Guadeloupe, France, and Honduras. In Guadeloupe, an overseas region of France, Keppel Seghers Belgium will design and provide a full suite of technology package for a new waste-to-energy (WTE) plant. The WTE plant will be built for Valorgabar, a single purpose company owned by Urbaser, an environmental services company under the Spanish construction group ACS (Actividades de Construccion y Servicios). The plant is built as part of a Public Private Partnership (PPP) project between Valorgabar and SICTOM de l'agglomération Pointoise (Guadeloupe local authority). When completed in 2011, the plant will treat household, hospital and industrial waste of up to 130,000 tonnes per year to generate steam and electricity. The Guadeloupe WTE plant will feature Keppel Seghers' innovative Air-Cooled Grate, horizontal boiler design, an integrated prism and a dry flue gas cleaning system with catalytic SCR deNOx technology, offering state-of-the-art energy recovery. Keppel Seghers' technology also enables the emissions to surpass EU requirements, which are the most stringent in the world. The civil works for the plant will be managed by Urbaser. In Honduras, Keppel Seghers Argentina will design and provide turnkey supply mechanical and electrical works for the first stage construction of the Bahia de Tela Waste Water Treatment Plant. Featuring Keppel Seghers' UNITANK, the first stage construction, which is expected to be completed by 2009, will treat 1, 650 cubic metres of wastewater per day. When fully completed, the wastewater plant will contribute to maintaining the pristine environment of the Los Mico Beach & Resorts in Honduras. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Construction News :: home page |
