據(jù)3月9日Trade Arabia消息：一份報(bào)告稱，阿曼Duqm地區(qū)正在建設(shè)一個(gè)采用環(huán)保技術(shù)的煉油廠，耗資42億美元。

《阿曼時(shí)報(bào)》報(bào)道稱，該工廠通過阿曼政府和加拿大商業(yè)控股公司之間的公私合作伙伴關(guān)系，與Duqm 經(jīng)濟(jì)特區(qū)管理局(SEZAD)合作，在Duqm港口城鎮(zhèn)建造，將使用比傳統(tǒng)方法對(duì)環(huán)境危害更小的技術(shù)提煉石油。

援引加拿大商業(yè)控股公司董事長(zhǎng)兼首席執(zhí)行官M(fèi)oses Sumoron的話說，該工廠一旦開始運(yùn)營(yíng)，預(yù)計(jì)每天將生產(chǎn)約30萬桶石油。該項(xiàng)目預(yù)計(jì)將在2023年底生產(chǎn)第一批產(chǎn)品。

該工廠將采用減少石油生產(chǎn)過程中產(chǎn)生硫排放量的技術(shù)。報(bào)告稱，二氧化硫和其他氧化物會(huì)導(dǎo)致酸雨，酸雨會(huì)損害脆弱的自然生態(tài)系統(tǒng)，并通過阻礙樹木生長(zhǎng)和損害樹葉來?yè)p害樹木。

Solemon說:“為我們的綠色石油精煉廠設(shè)計(jì)的化學(xué)過程試圖解決此類問題并填補(bǔ)傳統(tǒng)提取過程中的空白，從而使我們即使在加工自然資源時(shí)也能夠保護(hù)地球?！?/span>

該公司首席執(zhí)行官對(duì)阿曼政府讓CBH建立這家工廠表示感謝，并補(bǔ)充稱，這里的綠色提取過程將最大限度地減少此類煉油廠對(duì)該國(guó)空氣、土壤和水質(zhì)的環(huán)境影響。

該公司還計(jì)劃在阿曼建立一個(gè)尿素和氨工廠，利用過剩的二氧化碳生產(chǎn)肥料，這些肥料可以用于該國(guó)的農(nóng)業(yè)部門，也可以出口到其他國(guó)家，從而減少阿曼從國(guó)外進(jìn)口肥料的需求。

$4.2bn 'green' refinery project planned for Duqm

A refinery employing environment-friendly technology is being set up in Oman's Duqm area at a cost of $4.2 billion, a report said.

The plant, being built in the port town of Duqm through a public-private partnership between the Oman government and Canada Business Holdings, in collaboration with the Special Economic Zone Authority at Duqm (SEZAD), will refine petroleum using technology that is less harmful to the environment than conventional methods, said the Time of Oman report.

The plant is expected to produce about 300,000 barrels of oil a day, once operations begin, it said quoting Moses Solemon, chairman and CEO of Canada Business Holdings. The project is expected to produce its first batch of products towards the end of 2023, he said.

The plant will use technology that reduces, among other hazardous wastes, the amount of sulphur emissions produced during the processing of producing petroleum. Sulphur dioxide and other oxides contribute to acid rain, which could harm fragile natural ecosystems and damage trees by stunting their growth and harming their foliage, the report said.

“The chemical processes designed for our green petroleum refinery attempts to address such issues and fill in the gaps in conventional extraction processes, so that we are able to protect the planet even while processing natural resources,” Solemon said. “It is important we use modern technology responsibly.”

Expressing gratitude to the Omani government for enabling CBH to set up this plant, the company’s CEO added that the green extraction processes here would minimise the environmental impact such refineries have on the quality of air, soil and water in the country.

The company is also looking to build a urea and ammonia plant in the country which will use excess carbon dioxide to make fertiliser that can be used in the country’s agriculture sector, as well as exported to other countries, reducing Oman’s needs to import the same from abroad.
