In early May , Christ Kennicott Water Technology Ltd successfully delivered a fully engineered skid mounted potable water filtration plant to ExxonMobil’s Sakhalin 1 Oil export terminal project based on Sakhalin Island, north of Japan.This export terminal will serve the oil and gas fields being developed both on and offshore by ExxonMobil with export pipelines to mainland Russia and Japan.
The plant is designed to produce 100 m3/day of potable water using multi media filtration, activated carbon filtration and chemical dosing. The plant was fully automated via a dual redundant PLC and included all necessary backwashing pumps and storage tanks. As well as complying with the stringent engineering standards of ExxonMobil, Russian GOST standards and their engineering contractor John Brown Hydrocarbons, the plant was designed for operation and storage at -35°C.

This project further emphasises Christ Kennicott’s commitment to the design and manufacture of high quality bespoke engineered water treatment plant for demanding applications worldwide.
Background information on the project:
Exxon Mobil are the leaders of a consortium, Exxon Neftegas Ltd. (ENL), set up for the development of oilfields offshore of Sakhalin Island, known as the Sakhalin 1 Project. The overall project includes oil wells, production platforms, an onshore treatment facility at Sakhalin Island, pipelines to the mainland and an onshore oil export terminal located approximately 6 km north of the port of DeKastri on the Klykova Peninsula at Chikhacheva Bay.
The detailed design of the oil export terminal will be executed by a task force principally located at John Brown Hydrocarbons’ Head Office in London. Support to the project will be provided by the John Brown Hydrocarbons office in Moscow.
The Oil Export Terminal includes facilities for receiving, storage, and load-out of stabilized crude oil into tankers of 110,000 DWT. Onshore facilities include a tank farm, loading control centre, power generation facilities, metering facilities, accommodation, utility facilities, fire fighting facilities, and warehouse-workshop facilities. Marine and offshore facilities include a pier, service vessel wharf, and SPM loading system.
