Location of Services
Phase 1: For the design and procurement stage, substantial presence on site will not be required, provided regular communication is made possible with ILBANK’s representatives (in Ankara) and representatives of the municipalities in coordination with ILBANK’s representatives. However, site visits (in Gaziantep, Nizip and Şanlıurfa Cities) will be required from the beginning, and especially during preparation of design & built tender dossiers.
Phase 2: Substantial presence will be required on site. The location of Phase 2 services will be mainly within the region of Gaziantep, Nizip and Şanlıurfa Cities and around.
Gaziantep has population around 2,069,000 by 2019, which is located in the westernmost part of Turkey’s Southeastern Anatolia Region. Nizip is the largest surrounding district of Gaziantep with a population around 150,000, and located 45 km from the city of Gaziantep easterly.
Şanlıurfa is a city with a population of over 2 million residents in southeastern Turkey, and the capital of Şanlıurfa Province.
The Gaziantep Metropolitan Municipality (GMM) plans to implement the second stage of Mechanical Biological Treatment & Biogas Production Plant. The project area covers 7 of 9 districts of GMM serving a total of 1.876 million inhabitant plus 375 thousand Syrians refugees. The landfill in Gaziantep center now receives more than 500,000 tons of waste per year from 7 of 9 districts of GMM, waste from the remaining 2 districts being sent to Nizip landfill. The project aims to:
- Increase the capacity of its current mechanical-biological sorting equipment – from 100,000 t/anuum to 300,000 t/annum, (i.e. additional equipment of 200,000 t/annum).
- Build a RDF (Refuse Derived Fuel) production unit – with a capacity of around 50,000 t/annum.
- Increase the capacity of biomethanization unit (anaerobic digestion) & install CHP (combined heat and power) unit, capable of treating 110,000 t/annum of organic waste and produce renewable energy.
This project will make it possible to produce 33.5 thousand t/annum of the recycled waste, 52.6 thousand t/annum of RDF, and 20,251 MWh per year of renewable energy.
