Muscat: The Oman Environmental Services Holding Company (be'ah) has entered into a formal agreement with Tialoc and Al Ramooz National to initiate the second phase of the industrial waste treatment facility within the Sohar Free Zone.
This agreement was formally sealed by Engineer Abdul Kareem Qasim Al Balushi, who serves as the Chief Operating Officer of Hazardous Waste Operations, alongside Christoph Engel, the Chief Executive Officer of Tialoc Group. This collaboration marks a pivotal moment in be'ah's ongoing endeavors to enhance the infrastructure for managing industrial waste within the Sultanate.
The second phase of this project encompasses the construction of a comprehensive facility dedicated to the treatment of industrial waste. This facility will include specialized facilities for the treatment of hazardous waste, both physically and chemically, as well as the processing of used oils and toxic waste. Furthermore, it will feature storage tanks and advanced infrastructure to support the operations of the facility. This initiative is anticipated to significantly contribute to the national sustainability objectives and to the local economy by generating employment opportunities.
In a statement following the signing of the agreement, Engineer Abdul Kareem Al Balushi, the Chief Operating Officer of Hazardous Waste Operations, underscored the critical importance of this project in advancing the management of industrial waste within Oman. He highlighted that this project represents a significant stride in the Sultanate's strategy to address the challenges posed by industrial waste and to provide sustainable, integrated solutions.
Christoph Engel, the Chief Executive Officer of Tialoc Group, expressed his profound appreciation to be'ah for choosing Tialoc's technology and expertise. He, along with the teams from Tialoc and Al Ramooz, is fully committed to the implementation of advanced European technology and best practices that Tialoc has honed over several decades. Their goal is to develop the facility in a manner that meets the specific needs and trends of the Sohar Zone, while also extending its benefits across Oman. This project aims to establish a standard for integrated industrial waste treatment within the GCC region, blending cutting-edge technology with industrial design aesthetics and environmental sustainability. The objective is to eliminate pollution, reduce emissions, and carbon footprints, thereby making a substantial contribution to the Sustainable Environment Goals of Oman Vision 2040.
It should be noted that the initial phase of the industrial waste treatment facility in Sohar has been operational for several years and includes specialized facilities for industrial operations, a solid waste storage facility, and a laboratory accredited by the Gulf Accreditation Center, making it the sole facility of its kind within the Sultanate of Oman.
