CLIENT FOCUS

We make the needs of our clients the focus of

our business activities. If we can better

understand our clients and offer tailor-made

services, we can generate more business and

grow as a result. We are already aware of the

similarities and differenc- es between all our

potential clients in our industry and we intend

to satisfy them as professional as possible

meeting all demands and providing timely

feedbacks.

In our endeavor to create synergy for our

customers by our zeal, innovation and

aptitude, we focus on:

•Engaging with clients to find out what

they value, need, want and expect;

•Understanding the financial and

operational constraints they work within;

•Using all the existing systems and

processes to gather intelligence about clients;

•Monitoring clients’ level of satisfaction

with the intended and existing products and

services;

•Using client satisfaction as a critical

measure of the organization’s quality and

performance;

•Ensuring that we involve clients in all

stages of the development of products and

services, from Conceptualization through to

market launch

FINANCIAL CAPABILITY

Already we have existing financial

supporting relationship with a local joint

venture partner providing financial

support for our business prospecting and

development.

We are also in joint venture relationship with

our foreign investor (IDE) for operational

funds for execution of some of huge capital

intensive projects.

In the event that the two above support do not

meet our expectation, we have an approval for

financial support from a local bank for

invoice discounting facility to the tune of

$100 Million for project executions.

TECHNICAL CAPABILITY

All our projects are being executed via strategic

synergies and partnership with specialised oil

and gas services providers locally and

internationally. Through this plan we’re

developing our capabilities through our

committed technical partners ensuring transfer

of technology and operational developments

in our organisation.

Since Q2 2013, we expect have commenced

joint execution of on-going contracts and

commence transfer of technology through our

partnership for Deep Offshore Engineering

Projects and Topside Designs.

INDUSTRY REGULATIONS & COMPLIANCE

Most of the projects we are currently

handling prospecting is being favored by the

Nigerian Content Bill and many more

opportunities will be created as the

Petroleum Industry Bill is signed. Presently,

industry regulations requires that 100% of

all Engineering Design (FEED) be done in

Nige- ria except where capability gaps

are identified in Nigeria. This as a result

makes the possibility of us getting awarded

contracts from time to time as long as we are

compliant with the NOGIC Act.

For this reason, our strategy is to first ensure

our compliance with the industry regulations,

reporting and documenting our contributions

into developing the Nigerian capability through

our technical partnerships. This gives give us

leverage over other competitors within our

industry as it proves compliance and drives the

success of the Federal Government’s

initiative.

SOUTHWEST DESIGN AFRICA LIMITED in

collaboration with our technical partner

[NUOVA SAIMAR] deploys the S.R.S.

(Sludge Recovery System) for crude oil

recovery and tank cleaning process.

The S.R.S. (Sludge Recovery System) is a

mobile unit for tank cleaning that

fluidizes the hydrocarbon phase of the

sludge, by injecting the same fluids that

has generated it, or, as it often

happens in refineries, using cuts,

compatible with the sludge to be cleaned.

Sludge fluidization is determined by the

chemical action of fresh oil, and by the

mechanical action of the Jet Washers that,

properly installed on the tank roof, eject the

fresh oil stream at a pressure of approx. 6

bar. In this way the hydrocarbon phase

within the sludge is dissolved in the

fluidizing oil, and the inert portion (sand,

earth and debris) is left inside the tank.

The fresh oil intake and the fluidized

phase return can be continuous or

discontinuous, according to the cleaning

procedure agreed with the Client.

A discontinuous procedure is preferred

to minimize the use of fluidizing oil,

but it requires more time.

OPERATION TARGETS

The reasons why our clients prefer to

chooseS.R.S. tank cleaning technology are

the following:

1. maximum recovery of hydrocarbon

phase contained in the sludge (up to

98%), which value often pays the overall

cleaning operation;

2. minimum quantity of material to be

disposed, just the inert portion saturated by

water and HC (its dry residue, at 600°C, is

approx.. 35%);

3. minimum tank downtime, as the

cleaning operation fluidizes from 200 to

400 t/day of sludge, depending on

sludge quality;

4. minimum overall cost of tank

cleaning operations;

5. best cost/benefits ratio;

6. highest possible safety level of

operations, according to the most

recent EC regulations;

7. elimination of Health and Safety risks run

by the operators; their access into the tank

is limited to the final phase, when the

tank internal atmosphere is neither

flammable nor hazardous;

8. environmental risks off; the System

operates through a closed cycle.

ROOF MAPPING

THE SWDA’s S.R.S TECHNOLOGY OPERATIONAL TARGETSValue of Recovered OilThe hydrocarbon recovered through the

S.R.S. cleaning is 95% of the hydrocarbon

contained in the sludge. It is dissolved in

the fluidizing oil and carried to the

production, thus becoming a real recovery.


If a tank with 3.000 m3 of sludge is cleaned

with S.R.S., the actual return can reach

500,000 Eu- ros, depending on the market

value of crude oil.

* Health and Safety1. S.R.S. operations are conducted with no

people entering the tank, except for the

final cleaning.

2. Sometimes the amount of sludge is so high,

more than 2m that the roof cannot land. We

have already resolved this problem for a

number of clients. The S.R.S. guarantees

safe roof landing results whatever shape

and quantity of sludge:

The Jet Washers are installed on the roof using

the roof support legs. When support legs

cannot be used, Jet Washers are installed on

special sleeves that are installed on the

roof, following a specific safety procedure.

3. During the S.R.S. washing phase the

atmosphere within the tank is continuously

monitored to guarantee that it does not

became flammable, and nitrogen is used to

control it. During this phase the unit is

equipped with O2 monitoring system and

alarm. Safety instruments are

brand new and subject to maintenance control

procedures. Very experienced and highly

qualified people manage and supervise each

operation.* Treatment EfficiencyS.R.S. operates a soft heating, just enough

to achieve the solution of sludge in the fresh

oil, this way the solution will remain stable for

a very long time.

* Reduction of Tank DowntimeS.R.S. operations last much less and the

time reduction becomes more significant

as operations become more complex.

* Environmental Protection1. During the fluidization phase, all the

openings that may connect the tank’s

inner atmosphere to the external

atmosphere are purposely sealed in order to

avoid any HC loss.

No chemicals are used during the

S.R.S. operations.

* Cost SavingsThe S.R.S. recovers more than 95% of the

hydrocarbon contained within the sludge, which

is returned to the Client together with the fresh

oil used to fluidize it. The subsequent hot-

water washing leaves a residue inside the

tank, that

shall be disposed of, which average

composition is 1/3 inert, 1/3 water, 1/3 solid

hydrocarbon.No other system gives a better recovery,

and a minor quantities of waste

material.

* ScheduleA S.R.S. operation is much faster than any

type of manual cleaning.

During the washing phase the sludge is treated

at a speed of approx. 250/350 m3/day

depending on the technique used and on

the type of sludge;

At the end of S.R.S. washing, the residue to

be taken out manually ranges between 5

and 10% of the original sludge, depending

on the quantity of inert phase within it; The

hot water washing phase facilitates the final

manual cleaning operations.* Minimum Overall Cost of Tank CleaningWith a more complete cost analysis, even if

not considering the value of safety that for the

current Industry regulations states as

“infinite”, by just considering the recovery of

valuable material and

ADVANTAGES OF USING THE SWDA’s S.R.S TECHNOLOGY





the subsequent saving for non- treatment/disposal of the material recovered, will show

how S.R.S. costs are actually cheaper.

Recorded data of previous operations and their results are available for analysis.

* Autonomy and flexibility of the S.R.S. unitThe S.R.S. unit has been designed for the best flexibility and autonomy. Concerning

utilities such as Power and Steam, we always consider the possibility to make use of

the site utilities in order to minimize the cost to the Client.
