Abstract : This report highlights several circular economy initiatives there were implemented during the detailed design phase with the EPC contractor for a sulfur recovery gas increment project. Capitalizing on the concept of cloning the existing plant, the initiatives targeted Reduce and Remove principles to optimize the existing design and advance the project milestone resulting in sustainable project execution and operation. These initiatives vary between material optimization, introducing alternative non-metallic materials, optimizing equipment power loads, utilizing pre-assembled structures, enhancing equipment shipments, and improving fabrication practices. The deployment of these initiatives under the different key circular economy principles ensures that the company has an effective and sustainable performance for the future. In addition, it resulted into reducing CO2 by more than 182,000 tonnages.
