Azerbaijan , Baku, April 8 / Trend E.Ismayilov /
The American MI-LLC will present an analysis report on the feasibility of a project which aims to repair the State Oil Company of the Azerbaijan Republic's (SOCAR) Waste Management Center in April, a SOCAR source said on Friday.
"The feasibility analysis report and several alternatives have been prepared. The document will be provided to SOCAR as soon as this month," the source said.
As part of the study, appropriate technologies for processing are expected to be selected, depending on the volume of waste generated by the SOCAR enterprises.
The new center will be based in an old Soviet-era center designed to store oil sludge. It will focus on refining oil sludge and about 62 kinds of solid and industrial waste.
A contract for the feasibility report was signed by MI-LLC and SOCAR on May 20 for the purpose of rebuilding the waste utilization center.
The selection of technologies for processing was envisaged under the feasibility report.
The work is carried out under a grant agreement worth $572,000, signed between SOCAR and the U.S Trade and Development Agency (USTDA). The agreement was signed on Aug.13.
