Italy’s Industrie De Nora, which specialies in sustainable electrochemical technologies and in the emerging green hydrogen industry, has been awarded a contract to supply electrochlorination units for Qatar’s North Field South (NFS) project

The contract to supply electrochlorination units for the onshore LNG facilities in Ras Laffan, was awarded by the T.EN CCC Joint Venture, led by Technip Energies (T.EN) in partnership with Consolidated Contractors Company (CCC), for QatarEnergy LNG. This is a continuation of the first phase, North Field East (NFE) Project, which was awarded in June 2021 and is now under construction. Together with the North Field West project, these projects form the North Field LNG expansion programme, the world’s largest LNG expansion project, which will raise Qatar’s LNG production capacity from 77 to 142 mtpa in 2030.

This contract will include two CECHLO-MS 326 units producing a high-strength, 12.5% sodium hypochlorite solution on site. Spread across two mega LNG generator trains, the units produce 294 kg of sodium hypochlorite per hour, equivalent to seven tons per day – enough to support LNG production capacity of 16 MTPA per train.

The new system will supplement the units awarded for North Field East (NFE) project in 2021, which included units spread across four mega LNG trains with a capacity of 8 MTPA each. Once completed later this year, these units will produce 11 tons per day of chlorine equivalent used to control biofouling as well as disinfect the formation of service water and firewater, and brine management from the desalination plant to the sea.

Aberdeen-headquartered Fulkrum, a leader in inspection, expediting, auditing, and technical staffing services, has opened a new regional support centre in Abu Dhabi, anticipating strong growth in its business in the region

The decision to relocate to a larger office space follows a series of significant project wins, including major contracts in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Iraq, and the UAE, and the establishment of an office in Iraq. As a result of these successes, Abu Dhabi has become a critical hub for Fulkrum’s regional operations, and the team in Abu Dhabi has grown to 19 members, with an additional four staff members set to join in October. The new office will support Fulkrum's ongoing regional growth strategy and allow for further expansion over the next five years.

Muhammad Tayyab, regional manager at Fulkrum, said, "Our growth in the Middle East has been tremendous, with a projected 50% increase this year following a 27% rise in 2023. The opening of our new regional support centre in Abu Dhabi reflects our commitment to supporting this momentum. With the anticipation of a 200% growth in the Middle East over the next five years, this new office will enable us to expand our capabilities and better serve our clients across the region."
