John Lee, Dayen Executive Chairman said, “Dayen has developed and patented this technology for oil-in-water separation, which will greatly benefit companies that need to treat produced water in an efficient and cost-effective way that meets and exceeds tighter legislative laws on discharges into the sea. We hope to share our expertise and bring this proprietary technology to prospective clients globally. Whilst we continue to focus on research and development as well as engineering, we will be seeking established and reputable companies overseas to help us in marketing and developing business opportunities for the systems and technologies that we have developed. In this respect, we are pleased to partner Tanjung Offshore and are confident that its far-reaching network and extensive track records will help Dayen in securing a foothold in oil-in-water separation business in the Malaysia market.”

Omar Khalid, Tanjung Offshore Managing Director said, “Malaysia has a good number of producing oil fields and producing gas fields located offshore Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah and Sarawak. Major operating companies are Petronas, Amerada Hess, BP, ExxonMobil, Lundin Oil, Murphy Oil and Shell. Malaysia is developing new deep water fields such as Kikeh, Gumusut, Kakap and Malikai, and has more than 250 existing platforms with an estimated 65 new platforms coming on stream in the next 5 years. The existing and new platforms represent a bright market outlook for Tanjung Offshore and Dayen.”

 

Dayen’s technology for oil-in-water separation, termed “DECORE + POREFLON®” can treat produced water from offshore platform, separating oil from discharged water and reducing the average oil content of a discharge to less than 1ppm. This differs from current oil-in-water separation technology where the average oil content of the discharge is in the range of 30 to 50ppm.  The DECORE + POREFLON® technology can treat produced water in an effective and inexpensive manner, and the treated water can be disposed of safely without harmful effects on the environment.  The water can be further treated for use in irrigation for bio-fuel crops and salt-tolerant poplar forest or for conversion into commercial grade mineral products, thus creating a value stream for companies.

 

Dayen’s Oil-in-Water technology has been rolled out successfully on a commercial basis, and it boasts a current clientele that includes international MNCs like Petroleum Development Oman which is owned by the Government of Oman, Royal Dutch Shell, Total and Partex, located in Nimr Oil Field, and SBM Offshore/Petronas Carigali Turkmenistan, owned by Petronas, in a Mobile Oil Production Unit located offshore Caspian Sea.

 

Produced water is water trapped in underground formations that is brought to the surface along with oil or gas during the drilling process. It is the largest volume of byproduct or waste stream associated with oil and gas exploration and production.

- Singapore Public Utilities Board Johor River Water Works
- Project in Papua New Guinea
- Will contribute significantly to FY2009 results

 

The Company is pleased to announce that a Consortium, comprising the Company, and United Group Infrastructure (Singapore) Pte Ltd (“UGI”), has been awarded a S$28.8 million Contract to upgrade the existing Public Utilities Board Johor River Waterworks (JRWW) Plants A & B using UV disinfection systems and an enhanced filter backwash system. Dayen holds a 40% stake in this project, while UGI has a 60% stake.  The project is expected to be completed by 3rd quarter of 2009.

 

“This project is a strong testament of the Company’s technical prowess in optimising UV disinfection solutions and we are particularly pleased to see the benefits from our strong efforts spent in the UV field coming to fruition. We are confident of a successful partnership with UGI, given that we have an established track record of jointly delivering projects together,” said the Group’s Managing Director, Mr Stephen Huen.
Mr Huen added, “Securing this project is particularly gratifying for us, as the PUB is a sophisticated practitioner of the ‘best sourcing’ philosophy which takes a holistic view on the benefits of a solution and not merely the price.”

 

The second project entails the construction of two substations in Erap and Hidden Valley for PNG Power Limited, Papua New Guinea’s national power supplier.  This is the Company’s first foray into Papua New Guinea.  The project is undertaken by a joint venture between Dayen and Pestech Sdn. Bhd.  It will contribute some S$4 million to the Group’s revenue in the coming year, and is expected to be completed by 4th quarter of 2009.

 

“We have ongoing projects in Uzbekistan, Cambodia, Oman and now Papua New Guinea.  These are viewed as ‘difficult’ environments but by gaining in-country experience, we position ourselves to reap the correspondingly higher margins attainable,” Mr Huen explained.

 

The Erap substation will improve the transmission system in PNG and the Hidden Valley substation will, upon completion, bring electricity supply to Hidden Valley Gold Mine located atop a mountain.
