Environment gets top priority

Adnoc has been in the forefront in managing issues related to safety and environment.

The Adnoc Group Companies manage their individual environmental issues in accordance with the Adnoc Group HSE Policy and a number of guidelines.
Following are some of the corporate facilities, activities and projects.
Hazardous Waste Management: Hazardous waste generated by the Adnoc Group Companies is centrally stored, segregated and reclaimed at the Waste Management Facility (WMF) at Al Ruwais.
The WMF is operated by the Ruwais Housing Division. The WMF will be replaced with a modern, integrated Central Waste Management Facilities (BeAAT), for which a project is under way. The BeAAT will consist of treatment, recycling and disposal facilities.
Halon Management: In 1997, Adnoc initiated a Halon phase-out programme and the Group Companies have replaced large volumes from their process facilities by utilising zero ozone depleting fire-protection substances.
The redundant Halon cylinders are currently processed, Halon recovered and stored at a centralised facility waiting further trading. Adnoc EH&S Division has awarded contract for a third party to set up this centralised Halon Management Facility in Abu Dhabi.
Air Monitoring: A front-end engineering design study is in  progress to implement a comprehensive air monitoring and management system, covering all Adnoc operating facilities and concession areas.
