Alternative Fuel Project Intended in the Sultanate of Oman
German-based consulting firm MVW Lechtenberg & Partner is planning a processing plant producing refuse-derived fuel (RDF) from household waste in the Sultanate of Oman.
For this purpose, Oman Environmental Services Holding Company (be’ah) has signed a memorandum of cooperation (MoC) with the Duisburg headquartered consulting firm and company Raysut Cement. The signing ceremony took place in Muscat, Oman, under the patronage of H.E. Sheikh Dr. Mansoor Talib Ali Al Hinai, Chairman of the Public Service Regulation Authority.
According to MVW Lechtenberg & Partner, the planned joint treatment plant will address waste management in the Dhofar region. “In addition to the household waste of about 800 tons per day, bulky waste and other waste are to be sorted, the recyclable materials sorted out and the remaining non-recyclable materials processed as environmentally friendly substitute fuel for the local cement plant. The organic fraction will be composted with tree and shrub cuttings as well as agricultural waste and processed into a high-quality substrate. A total of about 1,500 tons of waste are to be recycled in an environmentally friendly way every day.”
