Provectus Biofuels teams up with SOS Engineering for FEED on SAF site
Canadian sustainable energy solutions company Provectus Biofuels said it has appointed SOS Engineering to execute the front-end engineering and design phase of the DobroJet renewable jet fuel project.
The agreement builds on the existing scope of the engineering services agreement between the two companies.
“Establishing SOS as our owner’s engineer is the natural progression of their work and reflects the progress SOS has made to-date in the pre-FEED phase of Provectus’ Dobrojet renewable jet fuel project,” said Jon Jaque, CEO of Provectus.
“As we prepare for the front-end engineering and design phase for the Dobrojet project in Vegreville, AB, it makes sense to deepen our relationship with SOS given their knowledge and understanding of the project. This development enhances our ability to advance Dobrojet to help air carriers meet the air travel industry’s growing decarbonization requirements.”
The existing engineering services agreement included general engineering consulting, project scheduling and budget oversight, coordination with third-party consultants and contractors, regular reporting on progress, risks, and issues and technical support to advance Provectus’ project development objectives.
The expansion of agreement will expand the scope of work to include specific services and deliverables required during the FEED phase and leading into construction and commissioning.
“Our team’s intimate understanding of the Dobrojet biofuel project and extensive energy industry experience makes us the right partner to collaborate with to move this project forward,” said George Garaganis, CEO of SOS Engineering.
“Provectus’ approach, adapting proven off-the-shelf technology for their fuel production process, really simplifies the technology development pathway. We look forward to working with the Provectus team to move this project forward.”
Provectus said that SOS will help the company with pre-FEED, engineer oversight and technical execution, final investment decision preparation and capital readiness and finally with the construction & commissioning preparation.
The DobroJet facility will be located in Vegreville, Alberta. The company has an insurable wheat-straw supply base of 455,000 metric tons annually.
