Feedstock Study — Dammam / Eastern Province

Eastern Province generates 3,486 TPD across nine streams — growing at 8.08% CAGR, the fastest waste market in the Kingdom. Ras Tanura petcoke ash (120 TPD from the world's largest oil terminal) is Saudi Arabia's primary V₂O₅ recovery site nationally. Phase Initial: 4 modules, 400 TPD, 140,000 tpy. Eastern Province ELT hotspot per Grand View Research.

Surge Capacity Design Basis

Baseline TPD 3,486

Surge TPD (P90) 4,706

Surge factor 1.35×

Primary surge driver Refinery Turnaround

Refinery turnarounds at Ras Tanura and SAMREF generate +40% industrial waste volume for 4–8 week periods. Eid holiday surge adds +30%. Eastern Province baseline grows ~500 TPD/year at 8.08% CAGR — the design basis is already conservative relative to Year 5 volume. WARN-05 applies.

Ras Tanura Petcoke Ash — Saudi Arabia's Primary V₂O₅ Site

120 TPD — Highest-Vanadium Feedstock in National Program

Ras Tanura is the world's largest oil terminal. Saudi Aramco's Arabian heavy crude — one of the most vanadium-rich crude grades commercially produced — generates petcoke that, when burned in industrial boilers, concentrates vanadium in fly ash at commercially recoverable levels. At 120 TPD, Dammam/Ras Tanura produces 6× the petcoke ash volume of Jubail Phase Initial and 2× that of Yanbu.

Product	RevCon	Source	Export Ref.
Vanadium V₂O₅	WARN-08	Ras Tanura petcoke combustion	$8–12/kg — TBD volume
Nickel	RC2–RC3 MTL-011	Co-concentrated with vanadium	$12–16/kg
Gallium	RC4 MTL-042	Coal/industrial ash	$220–350/kg

WARN-08: V₂O₅ recovery requires engineering confirmation for Ras Tanura petcoke configuration. On-site ash analysis required before V₂O₅ volumes are confirmed in any client document.

8.08% CAGR — Growth Context

Eastern Province is the Kingdom's fastest-growing waste market. At 8.08% CAGR, the baseline grows ~500 TPD per year:

Year	Baseline TPD (ESTIMATED)	Phase Initial capacity	Capacity utilisation
2026 (baseline)	3,486	400 TPD	11.5%
2030 (COD)	~4,770	400 TPD	8.4% — Phase Medium timing
2035	~6,600	Phase Expanded needed	—

Growth trajectory means Phase Initial (400 TPD) is conservative relative to Year 5 volume. Phase Medium (800 TPD) and Phase Expanded (1,200 TPD) are structurally required by the market, not speculative.
