New Propane/Butane Tank – Zueitina Terminal
The “New Propane/Butane Tank” project at the Zeitina Terminal involved the complete engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) of a large-scale gas storage tank.
This tank is designed for the safe storage and handling of propane and butane products for our customer.
Key components of the project included:
• Engineering and design of the gas storage tank and supporting infrastructure
• Procurement and supply of all required materials, including structural steel, tank plates, piping components, valves, and safety systems
• Tank fabrication and on-site construction, including shell assembly, roof installation, and welding works
• Installation of piping systems, safety equipment, and access structures such as stairways and platforms
• Surface protection and corrosion prevention systems
• Testing, inspection, and commissioning to ensure compliance with operational and safety requirements.
The tank was constructed to enhance the storage capacity and operational efficiency of the Zeitina Terminal, supporting the handling and export of LPG products while maintaining strict safety and environmental standards.

Desludging Tank 5 – Ras Lanuf Terminal
The “Desludging Tank 5” project at the Ras Lanuf Terminal involved the execution of a fully automated tank cleaning and hydrocarbon recovery operation for a large heavy crude oil storage tank with a total capacity of 500,000 barrels.
During the operation, specialized automated equipment was deployed to break down, mobilize, and separate sludge deposits from the tank floor. The recovered hydrocarbons were processed and returned to the production stream, minimizing waste and optimizing asset recovery.
Project Results:
• Tank capacity: 500,000 bbl heavy crude oil storage tank
• Technology used: Automated hydrocarbon recovery and tank cleaning system
• Total hydrocarbons recovered: 120,896 barrels
• Recovery efficiency: 99.50%
The project successfully restored the operational capacity of Tank CT-5, while achieving an exceptionally high hydrocarbon recovery rate.
The operation demonstrated the effectiveness of automated tank cleaning technologies in large-scale crude oil storage facilities, significantly reducing environmental impact and operational downtime.

48” Crude Line Project – Marsa El Brega Terminal
The “48” Crude Line Project” at the Marsa El Brega Terminal was executed as a full Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) project aimed at upgrading the existing oil export infrastructure and increasing the terminal’s crude oil export capacity.
The project involved the design, supply of materials, construction, and installation of a new 48-inch crude oil pipeline, forming a key component of the terminal’s export system. The new line was implemented to enhance the efficiency and reliability of crude oil transfer from storage facilities to the marine loading systems used for exporting crude oil onto tankers.
The scope of work included detailed engineering, procurement of large-diameter pipeline materials, civil works, mechanical installation, welding, testing, and commissioning. Special attention was given to ensuring compliance with international oil and gas industry standards regarding pipeline integrity, operational safety, and environmental protection.
Key project components included:
• Engineering and detailed design of the 48-inch crude oil transfer line
• Procurement and supply of pipeline materials, fittings, and associated infrastructure
• Pipeline construction and installation, including welding, coating, and structural supports
• Integration with existing terminal systems and export facilities
• Hydrostatic testing, inspection, and commissioning
The successful completion of the project significantly improved the crude oil export capacity and operational efficiency of the Marsa El Brega Terminal, enabling higher transfer rates and more reliable loading operations for export tankers.
