Sable Offshore Energy Inc. has awarded CCR Technologies Ltd. a contract to provide onshore reclaiming for its gas project off Canada's eastern shore, said CCR. The contract�which CCR says could be worth up to $2 million�involves the purification, or recycling, of 8 million l. of monoethylene glycol that is used by Sable in the operation of its offshore pipeline. Under the terms of the contract, CCR will deploy a mobile unit to Point Tupper, Nova Scotia, and begin processing the spent chemical. It will be purified and reused by SOEI instead of purchasing new chemical, resulting in significant cost savings for SOEI.
