Veolia to provide wastewater-treatment technologies for Lotte-Axiall petrochemicals facility

19-Aug-16

CB&I has chosen Veolia Water Technologies to engineer and procure a wastewater treatment package for the 1,000,000 metric tpa Lotte Axiall Chemical Company (LACC) ethane cracker and associated monoethylene glycol (MEG) plant being constructed in Lake Charles, Louisiana.
The 650-gpm system will treat wastewater from three sources at the facility using Veolia technologies including: Whittier Induced Gas Flotation; Whittier Corrugated Plate Interceptor; AnoxKaldnes Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor; and Hydrotech Discfilter. Veolia’s work scope includes process design, equipment procurement, system integration, construction support, commissioning, startup and training. The system will be operational prior to the cracker coming online in October 2018. CB&I was awarded the EPC contract for the cracker plant in late 2015.

LACC is a joint venture between Axiall Corp., based in Atlanta, Georgia, and Lotte Chemical Corporation of South Korea.
