Oman to advance waste treatment facility: Oman Environmental Services Holding Company (Be’ah) has signed an agreement with Singapore-based environmental technology provider Tialoc and Omani construction company Al Ramooz National to commence the second phase of the industrial waste treatment facility in the Sohar Free Zone, Times of Oman reports. The new phase will include an integrated facility for hazardous waste treatment, physical and chemical processing, and used oils and toxic waste treatment.
About the Sohar project: The facility — which will be the biggest in the country — is set to be completed in 2025. The first phase of the project, which is currently operational, includes three landfills and an open and closed area for industrial waste. The in-development second phase will include a solidification plant and lab installations. Be’ah was in talks to finance the construction of the second phase last August.
Be’ah is doing more to process waste: Be’ah signed agreements with Omani waste management firms Turbah and NTZ Solutions on waste repurposing and environmental conservation in November. It also partnered with Oman Cement last year to supply RDF made from household and business waste to be burned as fuel in cement kilns, agreed to supply processed old tires as fuel for the kilns, and completed the technical and economic feasibility studies to establish a waste-to-energy plant last year.
