Estedama, a fully integrated environmental solutions service company based in the Eastern Region of Saudi Arabia, continues to strengthen its waste recycling capabilities as it recently announced plans to invest in a contaminated soil wash plant designed and engineered by CDE.
The wash plant will be commissioned at Estedama’s Al Damman facility where it will process a range of oil-contaminated waste materials from around Saudi Arabia.
The news comes as the two companies finalise the milestone agreement at the EcoWASTE Exhibition & Forum, part of the World Future Energy Summit in Abu Dhabi, marking the first project between the materials wet processing experts and environmental specialists.
Soil washing involves the recovery of reusable materials from soils, often extracted from oilfield and drilling sites containing pollutants, organics and other contaminants. Estedama’s wash plant will process a range of feed materials, including oil-contaminated soils from pipeline punctures, drilling waste and more.
Traditionally categorised as a waste product and destined for landfill, contaminated soils typically contain valuable sand and aggregate resources that can be recovered in a range of specifications, cleaned, and reused by the construction industry for a variety of applications.
Specialising in the collection, processing, and recycling of a range of waste streams, Estedama’s approach to waste management and remediation also enables the recovery of oil resources from contaminated feed material.
