RFP- CDC/418/17 1

1 INTRODUCTION

The Coega Development Corporation (CDC) plans to develop an on-shore slops treatment facility

in Zone 7 of the Coega SEZ. Slops is oily waste, oily water, sludge and/or emulsions generated by

ships.

1.1 NEED & DESIRABILITY

The CDC, as part of its offering to investors in the maritime industry, has identified the need

for a slops treatment facility in the Coega SEZ. Deslopping of ships currently takes place in

the Durban Port, meaning that all ships travelling along the South African coastline, that

require deslopping services, can only obtain this service in the Durban Port. This facility is also

in port, which means that the vessels deslopping would have to first find a berth before they

can deslop, losing sailing time and adding to the already congested port traffic.

An environmental challenge affecting the industry is the disposal of slops. It has a significant

impact on ship owners and operators, port authorities as well as slops collectors. Illegal slops

dumping is an environmental challenge that has considerable impact on the marine

environment.

The need has therefore been identified for such a facility, to ensure that slops from vessels is

handled appropriately and that beneficiation of the waste oil can take place, effectively

recycling the waste.

2 PROJECT BACKGROUND

2.1. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

A slops treatment facility, also known as a Port Reception Facility, can be modular or a full scale

fixed plant. An average 17 000 ton vessel can create approximately 1.5m3 of slops waste per day.

Approximately 100 ships per month call in at the two ports in Algoa Bay, while many ships sail past

Algoa Bay each month. These ships are a combination of container ships, bulk carriers, tankers

and passenger liners. The anticipated treatment capacity of the facility at Coega will be 20 000m3,

with subsequent increases in capacity as the demand requires. The slops treatment facility will be

configured according to the market demand / market that has been created.


RFP- CDC/418/17 2

2.2. SLOPS COLLECTION AND STORAGE

Slops will be collected with seagoing slops collection vessels with a capacity of 2 500m3.

Either the collection vessel will collect the slops from ships at anchorage, or ships would come

into the Port of Ngqura and connect directly to the slops pipeline, which will pump the slops

from the collection vessel or the ship, into a pipeline, directed to storage tanks at the land-

based Slops Treatment Facility in the SEZ.

2.3. PROCESSING AND SEPARATION OF SLOPS

The slops will undergo a separation process, whereby the oil, water and solids are separated,

by adding chemicals and/or solvents. The primary characteristic of slops is that oil and water

form an emulsion stabilized by ultrafine solids, extremely difficult to separate. Slops must be

purified in order to be used as fuel in waste oil fired boilers or incinerators, or to be sold. Thermal

treatment may also be used to treat slops.

2.4. STORAGE AND BLENDING

The separated and treated oil will be stored in tanks. The oil will be blended further to produce

various products, dependent on the market demand, both local and internationally.

2.5. WASTEWATER TREATMENT

Seawater will be a waste stream and would need to be treated to meet discharge standards

for discharge to sea, and discharged in a pipeline placed into the marine pipeline servitude that

the CDC is currently investigating through an extensive EIA process.

2.6. DISPOSAL OF WASTE STREAMS

The treatment process produces waste streams that include oil, treated seawater and sludge.

The oil and sludge can also be considered as by-products of the treatment process, as they

can be used in other industries. The oil will be stored in tanks and re-used in the maritime

industry, or blended and sold.


RFP- CDC/418/17 3

The sludge will be hazardous and therefore have to be disposed of at the licensed regional

hazardous waste management facility. Alternative uses for the sludge must be investigated;

these could include use in the cement industry or used as a fuel.

SBD 9

CERTIFICATE OF INDEPENDENT BID DETERMINATION

1 This Standard Bidding Document (SBD) must form part of all bids¹ invited.

2 Section 4 (1) (b) (iii) of the Competition Act No. 89 of 1998, as amended, prohibits an agreement

between, or concerted practice by, firms, or a decision by an association of firms, if it is between

parties in a horizontal relationship and if it involves collusive bidding (or bid rigging).² Collusive

bidding is a pe se prohibition meaning that it cannot be justified under any grounds.

3 Treasury Regulation 16A9 prescribes that accounting officers and accounting authorities must take

all reasonable steps to prevent abuse of the supply chain management system and authorizes

accounting officers and accounting authorities to:

a. disregard the bid of any bidder if that bidder, or any of its directors have abused the

institution’s supply chain management system and or committed fraud or any other

improper conduct in relation to such system.

b. cancel a contract awarded to a supplier of goods and services if the supplier committed

any corrupt or fraudulent act during the bidding process or the execution of that contract.

4 This SBD serves as a certificate of declaration that would be used by institutions to ensure that,

when bids are considered, reasonable steps are taken to prevent any form of bid-rigging.

5 In order to give effect to the above, the attached Certificate of Bid Determination (SBD 9) must be

completed and submitted with the bid:

¹ Includes price quotations, advertised competitive bids, limited bids and proposals.

² Bid rigging (or collusive bidding) occurs when businesses, that would otherwise be expected to

compete, secretly conspire to raise prices or lower the quality of goods and / or services for

purchasers who wish to acquire goods and / or services through a bidding process. Bid rigging is,

therefore, an agreement between competitors not to compete.
