Summary
KBR-AMCDE, a leading engineering firm in Saudi Arabia, has secured a significant contract from Saudi Aramco to upgrade the Sulfur Recovery Units (SRUs) at the Haradh and Hawiyah Gas Plants. This strategic initiative aims to substantially boost sulfur recovery efficiency—from around 95% to an impressive 99.9%—while drastically cutting sulfur dioxide (SO₂) emissions from 4,300 ppmv to just 250 ppmv. The upgrades are designed to align with the latest environmental standards set by the Ministry of Environment, Water, and Agriculture (MEWA).
KBR emphasized that this project reflects their core values of sustainability, innovation, and safety, while also contributing to Saudi Arabia’s broader net-zero and environmental quality objectives. The work will be executed primarily by KBR’s in-Kingdom (IK) office in Khobar, with additional expertise drawn from their Leatherhead office in the UK.
