Pre-Bid Engineering Support for EPCC Turnkey Contracts,Oman

New Fire Water Tank with Pumping Station at OQ Methanol Plant, Oman

Expert Pre-Bid Engineering Solutions for Industrial Projects - Elixir Engineering specializes in comprehensive pre-bid engineering services for EPCC turnkey contracts. We enable clients to develop competitive, technically compliant proposals that meet project requirements and industry standards. One of our recent achievements includes delivering pre-bid engineering support for the New Fire Water Tank and Pumping Station Project at the OQ Methanol Plant in Salalah, Oman.

About OQ Methanol Plant

OQ Methanol Company (OQ MTH) operates a world-class methanol plant in Salalah, Oman, with a production capacity of 3,000 metric tons per day. Commissioned in 2010 and completed two turnarounds in April 2014 & April 2018, the facility relies on natural gas and seawater as its primary raw materials. Over the years, OQ MTH has consistently demonstrated operational excellence and reliability, completing multiple plant turnarounds while maintaining high efficiency and performance standards. All Utilities (desalinated water, de-mineralized water, steam, cooling water, power, and nitrogen) are produced within the integrated Utilities & off-site plant.

Existing Fire Water System:

  • The plant is provided with a fire water system with a Fire Water Pond (20-W2601), having a capacity of about 9,400 m3 with HDPE liner.
  • The sidewalls are concreted and the soil underneath the liner is compacted.
  • The connection of the HDPE liners is overlapped and seal welded. The water is being stored and used for fire extinguishing purposes.
  • The maximum firewater demand during the normal plant operation is about 2366 m3/hr.
  • In case of fire, two jockey pumps and the three fire water pumps shall be started automatically.
  • The spare jockey pump shall be started automatically by the fail position signal of the first jockey pump.
  • In any case, the network pressure shall be maintained min. 7 barg at the remotest and highest point.

New Fire Water Storage System:

  • However, due to the water loss and seepage issue in the Fire Water Pond, OQ MTH plans to build a new fire water storage system with a new above-ground tank along with a new Pump station and all associated auxiliaries including tie-in with the existing fire water network.

Scope of Work for EPCC Turnkey Contract:

  • Multi-disciplinary support in Civil, Instrumentation, Electrical, and Piping (MTO) activities.
  • Detailed engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning support.
  • Technical and Engineering assistance for submission of Bid documents.
  • Vendor document reviews according to required codes and standards.

Bid Preparation Support:

  • Provide Material Requisitions and Specifications for major items across disciplines (Civil, Piping, Electrical, Instrumentation).
  • Prepare preliminary MTOs for bulk and bought-out items.
  • Suggest cost-effective concepts to meet design performance without compromising quality or customer requirements.
  • Offer technical support at all stages of the bidding process and during contract finalization.

Essential Tasks in Pre-Bid Engineering

The image illustrates a diagram titled "Essential Tasks in Pre-Bid Engineering." It features a central heading with five categories branching out to the right, each represented by circular icons containing arrows. The categories are labeled as General, Civil & Structural, Piping, Electrical, and Instrumentation. The labels alternate in color, with General, Piping, and Instrumentation shown in maroon, while Civil & Structural and Electrical are in green. Lines connect each category to the central heading, creating an organized, easy-to-follow layout that highlights the key disciplines involved in pre-bid engineering.
