Client:Yuzhkazneftegaz Production Association
Location:Kazakhstan
Project Summary
The original contract to supply an Oil Treatment Plant with a nominal production of 500,000 tonnes/year was awarded to TDE in 1992.  The Plant, built and delivered on a "turn-key" project basis, was handed over to Yuzhkazneftegaz in 1996 and has been in continuous operation since then.

The contract included the following TDE supplied equipment and services:
  • Detailed Design (process, mechanical, electrical, instrumentation and control) and fabrication of the Oil Treatment Plant.
  • Shop testing of all equipment and system prior to shipping.
  • Transportation to site.
  • Supply of spare parts for commissioning, start up and 2-year of operation.
  • Supply of plant chemicals and lubricants.
  • Site civil works and field assembly of the modular TDE supplied equipment.
  • Responsibility for commissioning, start up and operational performance test.
  • Personnel training for processes and operation
  • Registration of plant and equipment with Russian authorities and standards agencies
