Designed on a Design-Build-Own-Operate model, the plant will be operational by September 2021. It will feature an incineration capacity of 60,000 ton per year, along with state-of-theart technology and environmental compliance based on Veolia’s extensive international experience as a resource management specialist, as per the statement.

The commencement of the project was announced by His Excellency Mustafa Mohammed Al Mahdi, CEO of Royal Commission of Jubail and Sébastien Chauvin, CEO of Veolia Middle East during an unveiling ceremony held at the development site. Dr. Faisal Al Faqeer, CEO of Sadara was also present at the event.

HE Mustafa Mohammed Al Mahdi, CEO of Royal Commission of Jubail, said, “We have launched a major and critical project at PlasChem Park and this development will form the foundation of future projects once completed. The Royal Commission of Jubail sees PlasChem Park as belonging to the whole kingdom of Saudi Arabia, not only to the Royal Commission.”

Stemming from an agreement signed between Veolia and the Sadara Chemical Company (Sadara) back in December 2018, the sustainable industrial wasteto- energy facility currently in development will be located adjacent to the Sadara Chemical Complex and will receive Sadara waste streams once the plant opens.

As part of the treatment process, Veolia will recover energy in the form of steam for use within several industrial applications. This offer includes the provision of steam, cooling, and instrument air across the industrial park.
