Pharmaceutical Waste Water Treatment Plant Project
Ludan Environmental Technologies, a subsidiary of Ludan Group, win an international tender to design and build a pharmaceutical waste water treatment plant.
The chosen technology will allow united flows of waste water to be treated in a single system.
The outflow stream will comply with all sever European Standards.
The project value is estimated to be above 5 million Euros.
The project will be implemented within 2 years.
This additional awarded project, is backing the efforts invested by the Group to develop the environmental sector which is expected to become one of the growing engines.
Ludan group is holding a leading position in Aquapure, a Hydro Non Thermal Plasma Purification (HNTP) technology. This technology can be added to polish all
leftover medicines after conventional treatment.

Flue Gas Treatment Project in China
· Lextran Ltd is an Israeli start-up company in the clean-tech space that developed a process and catalyst to remove the toxics and pollutants emitted in the flue gases when burning coal and other fossil fuels. Namely, sulfur and nitrogen oxides, mercury and other heavy metals pollutants and toxics.
· Lextran is owned 33% by Ludan Group as main shareholder. Ludan role in Lextran activity is essential. Ludan has also the rights to implement Lextran technology.
· The novelty of Lextran process is that unlike the prevailing emission control technologies which require a separate process and a separate facility, Lextran process removes ALL three pollutant groups simultaneously in one process. This advantage yields several key benefits: at least 40% reduced cost in construction and in running costs, significantly reduced real-estate required and improves pollutant removal quality.
· Furthermore, the ability to remove selectively with the same process all the toxic groups, opens environmental protection and economical possibilities that were not available before apart to the huge economic advantages.
· Recently, Lextran won a second contract for a commercial installation of its technology to be deployed in a steel factory burning coal to produce the heat necessary to melt the iron ore and to process iron into steel. The flue gas volume is equivalent to about 280MW power station.
· This second installation contract within several months is a significant turning point for Lextran in introducing its technology to the Chinese market, and to obtain a full scale industrial implementation.
· The Chinese market is a strategic market and represents the largest market segment for coal-fired emission control opportunities.
· In China, around 70% of the energy production is based on coal, and new 260,000MW of production capacity are planned for the utility sector alone in the next 5 years. 1,200 scrubbers are claimed not to meet the emission limits which are also scheduled to be tightened in the next 5 years.

Process Control Retrofit Project
One of the group companies was awarded with a major process control retrofit project.
The project specificity is the "hot" implementation procedure.
In order to fulfill "hot" implementation and avoiding major shut downs, the project management team decided to execute the entire plant retrofit, unit by unit.
As an outcome of the above strategy, the project will be executed during approximately 5 years.
The engineering effort is estimated to be above 100,000 man-hours.
The group competences and experience place us in a leading position of process control implementation, for new and retrofit projects, in the process industry.

KH INTERNATIONAL PROJECTS (KHIP) accomplished the execution of a "state-of-the art" crude oil tank
KHIP successfully completed this project under the terms of a Lump Sum Turn Key contract awarded by a major refinery operator in Romania.
In order to increase the crude oil storage capacity and of the operational performance and flexibility in the refinery, the project implemented:
· A new, “state-of-the-art”, crude oil tank with a gross capacity of 60.000 m3.
The tank which is the first of its kind in Romania is equipped with:
Ø external floating roof for eliminating vapor emissions,
Ø double shell and double bottom providing the necessary containment space,
Ø mixers for homogenizing its content,
Ø heating coils,
Ø multiple sampling systems,
Ø independent cooling and fire fighting systems using fire fighting water and aeromechanical foam;
Specific foundation rings and steel structural solutions have been also applied to ensure that the tank is properly “earthquake proof”.
· Three new DAV transfer pumps;
· All the auxiliary and interconnection systems.
Activities have been performed between 2009-2011 and included among others:
· Complete Detailed Design package
· Authority Engineering, Fire Fighting Study and full support to obtain all the
necessary permits and authorizations;
· Procurement and sub-contractors interfacing;
· Construction & site activities management/ coordination;
· Exemplary safety record (+/- 200,000 man-hours);
· Commissioning & start-up activities up to hand-over to client.

Completion of Natural Gas Infrastructure Implementation
On April 11, 2011, natural gas began to flow to the northern section of Israel, thus bringing to an end the three main phases of the on shore transmission natural gas pipeline project. Ludan Engineering Ltd. carried out the project management and site supervision for the construction of the entire project on behalf of Israel Natural Gas Lines Ltd. (INGL)
The project was split into three phases, the first one starting in May of 2005. This first phase connected the central/southern portion of Israel, between Ashdod to Gezer Power station via Sorek Junction and from Sorek Junction to Ashkelon, via Kiryat Gat. The entire pipeline length was measured at 90 kilometers.
The second phase continued the pipeline south from Kiryat Gat to Dead Sea Works and was measured at 135 kilometers.
The third phase was carried out in the north between Hagit Power Station (adjacent to Yokneam) to Tishbi Junction and branched east towards the Industrial Park at Alon Tavor and north to Haifa. Total length of this phase is 67 kilometers.
The steel pipeline varied in diameter between 18” and 30”.
Total cost of construction (Purchase excluded) was 700 million NIS.
