Oman: Oman Cement has signed a memorandum of understanding with Oman Environmental Services Holding Company (Be'ah), a government-owned solid waste management company. The deal covers using tyres from Be’ah’s waste collection sites to use in the cement producer’s kilns, according to the Oman Daily Observer. Around 45,000t of ‘end-of-life’ tyres are collected in the country each year, particularly in Dhofar Governorate. In 2017 Be’ah invited proposals to recycle and/or dispose of the excess tyres.

Oman: Al Ramooz National LLC has selected Bulk Handling Systems (BHS) to provide two mixed waste processing facilities in Oman. A 220t/day plant at Ibri and a 150t/day plant at Buraimi will treat municipal solid waste from the governorates of Al Dhahirah and Al Buraimi in northwest Oman. Both systems will be commissioned in 2017.

The new plants will process waste for French company Veolia and Al Ramooz, which were awarded a seven-year waste management contract tendered by Oman Environmental Services Holding Company in 2016. The contract includes the collection, transportation and landfilling for 250,000 residents. To fulfill this contract, Al Ramooz National LLC takes charge of collection, material processing and recovery. To maximise recovery and product quality, Al Ramooz National LLC selected BHS’ patented MSW process, combining screen, air and optical separation technologies to capture recyclable commodities and to produce alternative fuels.

“These two systems are an investment in the long-term sustainability of Oman,” said Al Ramooz Chairman Ali Saleh Al Sahib. “BHS offered the most advanced and complete system to help us reach our goals and we are especially excited to bring such a high level of technology to our process. We were able to collaborate on creative layouts to immediately maximise our recovery and value from the waste stream while simultaneously building in the flexibility to expand our processing capabilities in the future.”

The plants will feature the BHS Metering Bin Liberator Class to open bags and provide the system with a steady flow of material. BHS Tri-Disc screens will extract organics and separate containers from fibres, while Nihot Single Drum Separators will segregate dry recyclables from bulkier items, such as wood and rock. NRT’s In-Flight Sorting optical technology will target PET, HDPE, PP and PVC. Cardboard, mixed paper, ferrous metals and aluminium will also be recovered.
