CB&I wins early works contract for Axiall, Lotte’s Louisiana ethane cracker
CB&I has been awarded an early works contract by Axiall and Lotte Chemical to provide additional detailed engineering and early procurement services associated with the proposed LACC ethane cracker
project in Lake Charles, Louisiana.
This new scope of work follows CB&I's previous supply of its proprietary ethylene
technology and front-end engineering design (FEED) services to the
project.
The parties continue to evaluate the
construction of a cracker with the capacity to produce approximately 1-million tpy of ethylene employing CB&I's latest, proven ethylene
technology, including highly selective
SRTcracking heaters and its innovative recovery section design, featuring low pressure separation and mixed refrigeration to minimize investment costs.
"CB&I has worked closely with Axiall Corporation and Lotte Chemical to develop this
project from the beginning," said Patrick K. Mullen, president of CB&I's engineering and
construction operating group.
"We are pleased to affirm our relationship with both companies and look forward to supporting this important initiative," he added.
