The Shell Petroleum Development Company of Nigerian Limited
(Operator of the NNPC/Shell/TEPN/Agip Joint Venure)
Expression of Interest for a Feasibility Study for A Model Waste Management Plant in Rivers State Nigeria
Introduction and Background
The Shell Petroleum Development Company of Nigeria Limited (operator of the NNPC/Shell/TEPN/Agip Joint Venture), the British Council (BC) and Living Earth Nigeria Foundation (LENF) are collaborating to improve waste management and sanitation in Port Harcourt City and its environs. Urbanization, rising population, inadequate social amenities and the lack of sector-based investment are some of the factors that have contributed to poor waste management in the city. Waste management is a global issue given its negative impact on the environment. According to the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), overall quantities of waste are generally increasing hence the need for articulated waste management.
This collaboration between SPDC/BC/LENF will support government efforts at waste management and environmental sanitation. Interested firms and consultants are invited to participate in a detailed feasibility study for the establishment of an appropriate recycling plant in Port Harcourt, Rivers State. This study will enable the partners to:
Select appropriate technology and scale of a recycling plant for waste generated in Port Harcourt and its environs. Evaluate the technical and economic feasibility of the project.
SCOPE OF WORK
- Detailed survey of the current waste management process covering generation, segregation, collection and disposal. This would involve determining the quantities and types of waste generated in Port Harcourt and its environs.
- Determine an appropriate size, scope, location and product type(s) for the proposed plant in line with available waste generation data and other criteria.
- Financial analysis of the project: Project cost estimation (capital, operations and maintenance) Techno-economic feasibility analysis of the project.
- Row material (domestic waste) Pricing analysis.
- Detailed engineering designs and specification of proposed plant including comprehensive evaluation of commercially available options of plant model(s).
