    Jubail and Yanbu, two cities in the Kingdom o Saudi Arabia,

    constitute a unique experiment in development which has provedoutstandingly successul.

    Tese two cities, conceived on the drawing board, were planned to

    provide a purpose-built and highly ecient environment or modern

    industrial production. Tese industrial complexes, built at Jubail on

    the Arabian Gul and Yanbu on the Red Sea by the Royal Commission

    or Jubail and Yanbu (RCJY), are the key to the Kingdoms national

    industrialization plans. Tey provide the basis or the Kingdoms program

    to develop industries which are hydrocarbon-based and energy intensive.

    Te major objective o the massive investment in these industrial cities isto reduce the Kingdoms dependence on oil revenues by gaining access

    to the worlds petrochemical markets. Tis route to industrialization

    exploits the Kingdoms natural resources, in terms o advantaged energy

    and raw materials or petrochemical manuacture.

    On 21 September 1975, the Royal Commission or Jubail and Yanbu

    was established as an autonomous organization o the Saudi Government.

    Te Commission is governed by a Board o Directors and its Chairman

    reports to the Council o Ministers. Te Chairmans oce in Riyadh

    ormulates the policies and oversees them besides implementing the same

    through the two CEOs, one each or the cities o Jubail and Yanbu.

    Tis decision made by the Kingdom o Saudi Arabia in 1975 to develop Jubail and Yanbu into a world

    class integrated petrochemical hub changed the course o history or these obscure coastal towns orever.

    ogether they represent one o the planet earths largest civil engineering and construction projects ever

    undertaken. Rising out o the salt ats and sand dunes o Jubail & Yanbu, have emerged some o the worlds

    most technologically advanced petrochemical plants, supported by an inrastructural backbone that is secondto none anywhere in the world. o ensure these plants comply with the concept o sustainable development,

    a comprehensive environmental protection program was purposeully designed by RCJY in Jubail and Yanbu

    rom the very beginning. Its commitment to environmental protection has been duly recognized with its

    winning numerous international awards. With such an astute and visionary management approach, RCJY has

    successully developed the twin cities o Jubail and Yanbu into the ultimate Global Petrochemical Hub o the

    twenty rst century, attracting the nest and oremost global players in the industry.

    4.2. Strategic Vision Master Plan

    How did this vision come about? Who are the architects behind this amazing oresight? How has this been

    made possible? Tese are some o the compelling questions that have oten been asked. Te answer must liewith the two key actors that ensured its success leadership and teamwork.

    Right rom the beginning, RCJY, together with its partnership with Bechtel & Parsons, was led by a dynamic

    leadership marked not only by its outstanding long range vision, but the commitment, energy, discipline and

    single mined sense o purpose o bringing this grand vision to ull realization. Backing the leadership was a

    team o highly skilled and dedicated proessionals brought in rom around the world, representing a talent pool

    o the best engineering, construction and project management personnel. It was this team that had worked

    tirelessly over the years to see to the successul implementation o the dierent phases o building this Global

    Petrochemicals Hub.

    Besides the element o manpower, there was the abundance o natural resources. As associated gas was

    readily available, producing petrochemicals, uels and other eedstock became the natural downstream

    industry. Te output o this industry not only increased value-added exports but also provided critical raw

    material eedstock or the development o secondary industries, including agricultural ertilizers, cement, steel

    and various consumer products or the domestic and export markets.

    Te other key component o the strategy was the substantial investment o over $25 billion sunk in or the

    building o a world class inrastructure to support these industries. Substantial investments were also made

    or promoting the welare and betterment o the Saudis and residents in the areas o health care, education,

    housing, religious and community lie. o support the signicant national manpower demands driven by

    these massive industrial development projects, a comprehensive human resources master plan or the countrywas put in place. Tese included the establishment o industrial colleges and technical institutes to provide

    advanced technical and vocational training whose curriculum has been tailored to match the needs o the

    industry.

    4.3. New Growth New Challenges

    otal investment in Jubail and Yanbu have grown to more than $130 billion (SR 500 billion). Evidence

    o the Royal Commissions success in building the integrated Global Petrochemicals Hub can be seen in the

    presence o about 300 petrochemicals and related companies in the region, creating precious jobs. In act Jubail

    alone is estimated to account or approximately 70% o Saudi Arabias non-petroleum exports, 11.5 per cent

    o the countrys Gross Domestic Product and 7 per cent o the worlds petrochemicals. Tis success promptedthe Royal Commission to launch Jubail 2 and Yanbu 2 in 2006 to meet projected demands in the coming

    decade.

    4.4. Yanbu Industrial City (MYAS)

    Yanbu Industrial City is located on the Red Sea coast some 350kilometers northwest o Jeddah. It is approximately 30 years old.

    Tis modern industrial center plays a major role in the Saudi Arabiandynamic economy. Yanbu has become a hub o the kingdom` s majorhydrocarbon - based and energy -intensive industries

    Yanbu is the western terminal o the pipeline that transportnatural gas and crude oil some 1,200 kilometers across the Kingdom

    rom the Eastern Province. Most o the oil is exported to worldmarkets. Some o the crude oil, plus the sales gas (natual gas rich

    in methane), and Natural Gas Liquid (NGL) serve as eedstocks or

    Yanbus Petrochemical Industry.

    About two-thirds o the citys 187 square kilometers consisto industrial sites. Yanbu industrial City is being expanded by

    adding another 420 Km (Yanbu 2). Yanbu is currently host to 32

    hydrocarbon, petrochemical, and mineral industries, as well as 49light manuacturing and support industries. More than 63 new

    industrial plants are in various stages o planning and construction

    With this solid economic base, Yanbu is a ocal point or investors.

    o date, industrial developers alone have invested over SR 78 billionat Yanbu, while the Royal Commission (RC) has committed nearly

    as much to inrastructure or this state-o-the-art city. Now the total

    private sector in investment in Yanbu has reached approximatelySR 106 billion.

    Commercial and residential developers have ollowed the lead

    o the industrialists, supplying a wide range o goods, services, and

    housing or the communitys increasing population, which amountsto currently 136,000 and growing by an average 6% annually.

    Another 49,900 people, employees working in MYAS plus their

    dependents are supported by the MYAS economy.

    Yanbus growth is easy to explain. Good job prospects, beautiullylandscaped residential areas, a choice at coastal location, and

    numerous outstanding social inrastructures, services, and

    recreational possibilities oer people an exceptional quality o lie.

    tourist destination. Eorts are being made to implement various

    projects including developing a marina area to attract tourists. TeRCJY is currently implementing new projects worth $400 million

    (SR1.4 billion) in Yanbu, including a searont project, college

    buildings or girls, and inrastructure projects including main andsubsidiary roads. Covering an area o 11 kilometers, the searont

    project will boost tourism in Yanbu and create more jobs or Saudis.Te searont project will attract at least 500,000 tourists every year.

    Te project includes recreational centers, resorts, marine games and

    cultural projects.

    Prince Saud Bin Abdullah Bin Tunayan, Chairman o theRCJY, personally inspected the projects recently, including the home

    ownership program or RCJY employees in Jabriah District, where

    693 housing units have been completed at a cost o $190 million(SR727 million).

    Petrochemicals are the leading type o goods produced at present in MYAS. Tese products are

    characterized as medium to high value, export oriented, transported rom medium to long haul,

    with Jeddah as primary destination or Gateway.

    In 2005, over 5.15 Million tons (Mt) o reight moved out o MYAS, excluding crude oil, petroleumproducts and NGL which are shipped by sea. Out o the 5.15 Mt, approximately 2.03 Mt opetrochemicals, mostly in solid state, moved to Jeddah by trucks.

    In 2006, Yanbu region generated over 40,000 tons per day o reight moving out by trucks in thedirection o Jeddah. Tis corresponds to 14.6 Mt o reight per year.

    45% o this tonnage has Jeddah as destination or as primary gateway.

    50% o this tonnage originated in MYAS.

    Petrochemicals represented 16% o total outbound tonnage.

    Rened petroleum products represented 38%.

    Te Yanbu-Jeddah Expressway is evolving as a major corridor or bulk reight.

    Jeddah is a leading gateway to outbound reight rom MYAS and rom the Yanbu Region.

    Construction Support erminal. Tis was the rst terminal constructed at MYAS, and was designedespecially or the discharge o materials needed in the initial construction o the Industrial City and portcomplex. It is no longer in regular use. In 1986, the terminal was given over to the Coast Guard, who

    maintain security orces to protect the port and terminals.Te terminal consists o a trestle pier and a beachhead heavy lit acility. Vessels may berth on either

    side o the pier, which has a width o 30 meters and is 5 meters below LA. Te length o the pier isapproximately 260 meters. Te water depth at the inner and outer berths is 18 meters below LA. Te

    water depth o the beachhead is 6 meters below LA. Te beachhead is a heavy lit docking acilitylocated south o the Construction Support erminal, It is capable o accommodating vessels o up to 5meters drat.

    Service Harbor.A protected harbor capable o repair and service is an integral part o the port. It isalso the headquarters o the harbormaster, who, rom a 36-meter-high tower, controls the movements oall vessels within the port and in the approach channels. Service vessels include three pilot launches, eightmooring launches, 11 tugboats, a re tender, and an environmental survey launch. A ship-lit is availableto service the small crat and tugs. Te service harbor also has equipment to handle any environmentaland physical damage that might occur during port operations.

    Cargo Handled

    Te total tonnage handled at various terminals at King Fahd Industrial Port or the period 2000 to2009 is approximately 60% o total tonnage was associated with the export o crude oil. Some 23% was

    associated with the Export Renery erminal.

    unloading ships, bagging cement, and loading trucks. Tis acility is designed to handle 700,000 tons ocement a year per one berth. With the construction o the cement plant at Ras Baridi north o Yanbu,

    this terminal is no longer active.

    Cargo Handled.It appears that the port activities have been limited to general cargo (mainly buildingmaterials) and oodstu. In recent year, with the erection o the cement plant north o Yanbu, the amount

    o cement handled at the port has become insignicant. At the present time, there is no passenger trac

    through the port. In the past, Yanbu was a port o entry or Hajj pilgrims arriving by sea, mainly romneighboring Arab countries.

    Te Seawater Cooling System in Yanbu Al Sinaiyah serves the

    power station and various primary and secondary industries with

    bulk non-contact cooling water and the desalination plant with eedwater through a dynamic closed pressurized system. Tis is a vital

    utility or continuous operation o these heavy industries and thepower and water production acilities. Water is drawn rom and

    discharges into the Red Sea via separate channels. Te system has the

    ollowing principal elements:

    Dredged intake channel: Pumping station including screens,1.pumps and chlorination plant.

    Distribution pipelines: Supply and Return pipelines, outall2.

    and dredged discharge channel, support and ancillary acilities.Currently the average demand or SWC is some 6.1 M m3per day (250,000 m3/hr), although this peaks slightly duringthe summer months. Te industry maniold presently deliversabout 135,000 m3/hr and the uility maniold 115,000 m3/hr.

    Intake and Discharge channels: Seawater is drawn rom the3.dredged intake channel with rock berms which is approxi-mately 2.2 km long, 100-120 m wide and up to 12m deepequipped with breakwaters, oil booms, oil sensors and oilskimming equipment (although oil pollution in the Red Sea

    is limited risk). Te supply canal draws water rom the northand discharge to the south thus drawing cooler water rom thedeeper waters o the Red Sea and avoiding any short-circuiting.Te cooling water is then pumped by industries ater use intothe return pipelines directly to the head works on the dischargechannel. Te discharge head works is provided with a weir toensure the return pipelines remain primed with seawater.

    Te Seawater Cooling Pump Station consists o an intake4.pumping structures eeding into two (2) maniolds. One man-iold eeds the industries and the other eeds the Power and

    environment, or nuisance to the community. Separate systems collect and treat industrial and sanitarywastewaters while solid industrial wastes are disposed in the waste management acility and sanitary solid

    waste in a sanitary landll.

    YIC manages a 440-hectare landll located in the southeast cornner o the Royal Commission

    boundaries. When pending improvements are completed, this landll will accommodate all classes owaste (domestic, construction materials, industrial hazardous and non-hazardous). Te depletion o this

    landll amounts to 2 hectares per year. In addition, there is a compost plant in Yanbu Al- Sinaiyah

    capable o producing high quality compost rom pre-sorted solid waste and aerobically digested sludge.Te compost plant capacity (assuming 16 hours operation per day) is 400 tons o compostable waste plus

    100 tons o sewage sludge (obtained rom the sanitary wastewater treatment plant). At present, the plant

    operates ar below capacity.

    7.3. Industrial Wastewater:

    o dispose o industrial wastewater a special collection and treatment system has been installed as part

    o the inrastructure in the citys industrial parks. Sixteen pumping stations orward acceptable industrial

    wastewater to a treatment plant, located in the industrial park near the port, where it undergoes threedierent levels o treatment. Ater treatment the efuent can be pumped via an underground reclaimed

    water network, back through the industrial park or reuse. Dewatered sludge is disposed o in the waste

    management acility in the city.

    Te industrial wastewater collection system is generally accessible through a manhole located at theboundary line o each industrial site. In the absence o an existing manhole the developer may be required

    to construct one, along with the necessary valve and metering equipment. Flow through the manhole

    interconnection will be by gravity, and its velocity should not exceed 2.5 meters per second.

    o saeguard the collection and treatment system, industrial wastewater must meet the establisheddirect discharge criteria. Tese are specied in the Royal Commission Environmental Regulation (RCER

    2004, Vol. 1) that the Royal Commission issues to all new developers. Tese regulations are upgraded

    periodically and RCER 2009 will be implemented soon. Generally the efuent standards prohibit thedischarge o acids, cyanide, volatile components and other substances likely to produce toxic reaction either

    directly or indirectly. o ensure compliance, the Royal Commission carries out routine quality control

    testing or industrial wastewater. All the acilities must have 72 hours storage capacity or emergencypurposes.

    Industrial wastewater at Yanbu Al-Sinaiyah is adequately handled as part o the industry development

    plans. At present, the industrial wastewater treatment plant handles the pretreated wastewater rom

    industries. Figure 1 show the sanitary Wastewater treatment system available at MYAS. Figure 2 showsthe reserve adequate land or uture expansion o Wastewater reatment Facilities at MYAS. Figure 3

    7.4. Sanitary Wastewater:

    Also serving the industries is a separate sewerage system, which collects and transports sanitary

    wastewater to a treatment acility adjoining the industrial wastewater treatment plant. Te system isdesigned to receive wastewater rom oces, caeterias, restaurants, toilets, showers, etc. o ensure that

    wastewater is ree rom any traces o industrial wastewater or process wastewater, the developers system

    must include oil and grease interceptors/traps.

    Te sanitary wastewater collection system is generally accessible through a manhole located at theboundary line o each industrial site. In the absence o an existing the manhole developer may be required

    to construct one, along with the necessary valve and metering equipment.

    reated sanitary waste water is distributed to the irrigation network and used or landscaping

    in the city.

    7.5. Solid Wast:

    Te Royal Commission operates a 440 hectare sanitary landll, located at the north eastern cornero the industrial area or the disposal o municipal waste. Tere is a separate well equipped waste

    management acility or the disposal o industrial waste.Waste generated in the Industrial City shall be classied into one o the ollowing categories:

    Hazardous Waste:1. Tese wastes are dened as any solid, semi-solid, liquid, or contained gaseouswaste, or combination o such wastes, which may because o its quantity, concentration, physical orchemical characteristics pose a hazard or potential hazard to human health or the environment when

    improperly treated, stored, transported, disposed o or otherwise managed. Tese wastes shall also include:

    Non-hazardous Industrial Waste:2. Tese wastes include solid, liquid, semi-liquid or containedgaseous materials or wastes resulting rom industrial, mining, and agricultural operations and sludge romindustrial, agricultural or mining, water supply treatment, wastewater treatment or air pollution controlacilities, provided that they are not hazardous, municipal or inert wastes as otherwise dened in these

    Regulations.Municipal Waste:3. Municipal wastes include garbage, reuse, ood waste, oce waste, waste vegetationand other decomposable material resulting rom operation o residential, commercial, municipal, industrial

    or institutional establishments and rom community activities.

    Inert Waste:4. Inert wastes are those wastes which are not biologically or chemically active in the naturalenvironment, such as glass, concrete and brick materials, broken clay and manuactured rubber products.

    Waste generators shall, through testing o the waste or knowledge o the process by which the waste is generated,

    classiy their wastes according to above criteria. Beore transportation o hazardous and non-hazardous industrial

    waste away rom a generators acility, either or recycle, reuse, treatment, storage or disposal the generator shall

    complete a waste maniest (RCER Vol. 1). All industrial and hazardous wastes generated within the IndustrialCity and not intended or recycle or reuse shall be treated and / or disposed o at the Royal Commission approved

    waste treatment/ disposal acilities.

    7.6. Preservation o the Environment

    In order to ensure that the industrial development o the industrial cities o Jubail and Yanbu were not achieved

    at the expense o the natural ecosystem, the Royal Commission established the Environment Control Department

    to develop them into world models o environmental planning and sub stainable development. In the planning

    and design o the inrastructure, the design criteria enorce conormity to the highest international environmental

    standards. Tese included extensive environmental impact assessment studies related to construction as well

    as longer term operation o the industrial cities; in the development and enorcement o strict guidelines andregulation relating to domestic and industrial waste water treatment and discharge and abatement o air borne

    pollutants; recycling and reuse o wastewater; waste composting programs; in environmentally conscious zoning

    and building code regulations; and in the development o extensive environmental monitoring programs. As a

    result o its uncompromising commitment to the preservation o the environment, the RCJY has won international

    recognition and several awards:

    1968 United Nations Sasakawa Award

    1988 Kuwait-based Regional Organization or the Protection o Marine Environmental Award

    1995 Arab Cities Award or Environmental Protection

    1998 Arab League Award in the eld o Environmental Awareness
