Job Description
DESIGN OF A USED OIL STORAGE AND REPROCESSING FACILITY, VANUATU
TERMS OF REFERENCE
A. BACKGROUND
The Department of Environmental Protection and Conservation (DEPC) of the Ministry of Climate Change Adaptation, Meteorology, Geo-Hazards, Environment, Energy and Disaster Management (MCCAMGEEDM) with the support of the ‘Committing to Sustainable Waste Actions in the Pacific’ (SWAP) Project developed a National Used Oil Management Plan. This plan emphasises that if local processing facilities can be established that are of a sufficiently high standard, then this option will always be preferred to export.
Furthermore, Vanuatu has been invited by SWAP to submit a used oil management pilot project proposal based on the collection and storage of used oil. The overall goal of the pilot project is to have a used oil management system in Vanuatu. Specifically, the project will be conducted to
- Establish a storage facility for used oil;
- Establish proper collection at relevant collection sites;
- Establish a private sector collaboration with the government to use relevant technology such as pyrolysis to use the used oil to make other useful products;
- Ensure the collaboration between the private sector and the government is established to provide some revenue to the government to support sustaining the system;
- Establish an ADF scheme to support the sustainability of the project;
- Build the capacity of all stakeholders involved through relevant training; and
- Accurate data on imports of the different oil types and the generation of used oil is established.
These aims are all in full accordance with the Used Oil Management Plan. Based on the outcomes of these two activities, DEPC will establish a public-private partnership with Ocean Logistics Vanuatu to set up a storage and reprocessing facility. This facility will be built at Melektree, the site that belongs to Ocean Logistics Vanuatu.
As the first step, DEPC is looking for a consultant to design the storage and reprocessing facility. To that end, the following outputs are expected from the project:
- Design the Used Oil Storage and Reprocessing Facility including localisation of equipment and building;
- Establish an estimation of the budget;
- Provide a timetable of the construction.
