Bosch Projects and Tate & Lyle Process Technology set to
design new sugar factory in Oman
Bosch Projects and Tate & Lyle Process Technology (TLPT)
have been working for well over a year on marketing an
opportunity in Oman for the design and implementation of
a new sugar refinery for the Oman Sugar Refining Company
(OSRC). The refinery will be constructed in the industrial
port of Sohar, and produce 3,000 tons per day of EEC 2
specification refined white sugar from imported VHP raw
sugar.
This refinery was set to become a reality when, after five
consecutive days of meetings and tough negotiations in the
Bosch Projects Durban office, the design contract between
the OSRC and TLPT was signed. In this project phase TLPT
has sub-contracted Bosch Projects to undertake the design of
the “balance of plant” which covers the entire plant with the
exception of the refinery process, as this will be undertaken
by TLPT. As soon as the project finance is fully in place and
the project can be launched, Bosch Projects will take the lead
role in the proposal and negotiation for the implementation
phase. TLPT will then function as Bosch Projects’ specialist
sub-contractor for the refining process implementation.
