This AMIRAL Project, jointly developed by Saudi Aramco and Total, will be a large-scale
integrated petrochemical facility (including a mixed feed cracker, downstream derivatives
units, integration, utilities, and other support facilities).

• This is located adjacent to and integrated with the Jubail Export Refinery currently owned and operated by Saudi Aramco & Total Refining and Petrochemical Company (SATORP); a Saudi Aramco and Total joint venture.
• The existing (and future) industries are (and will) be located at the AL-Jubail Industrial City II industrial area, established west of Jubail, on the east coast of The Kingdom and will be subject to regulation by the Royal Commission for Jubail And Yanbu (RCJY).

• Flow Balancing of influent streams
• Catalytic Oxidation and Cyanide Treatment
• DAF clarification for TSS oily waste removal
• Biological Treatment / MBBR and Bio-DAF clarification
• Submerged Ultra-Filtration (SUF) pre-treatment for high grade reuse stream
• Reverse Osmosis for removal of soluble salts to produce high grade process water for
• reuse
• Mixed Bed Ion Exchange (MBIX) to generate a highgrade demineralised water for reuse.
• Brine will be treated through Multilfo, Ozonation, BAF, break point chlorination and GAC
• Sludge will be dewatered
