Saudi’s Estedama commissions new CDE soil remediation plant

Estedama, a fully integrated environmental solutions service company based in the Eastern Region of Saudi Arabia, announced on Wednesday that it will invest in a contaminated soil wash plant designed and engineered by CDE.

The wash plant will be commissioned at Estedama’s Al Damman facility where it will process a range of oil-contaminated waste materials from around Saudi Arabia, the Saudi firm said in a press statement.

The Northern Ireland-based CDE is a global provider of wet processing equipment for recycling operations quarries, and minest.

The two companies finalised the milestone agreement at the EcoWASTE Exhibition & Forum, part of the World Future Energy Summit in Abu Dhabi last month.

Faleh Aldossary, General Manager, Estedama, said: “It is our vision to be the leading fully integrated industrial waste management entity in Saudi Arabia, contributing to the circular economy initiatives set
