Sasol awards furnace engineering work to Technip for new US cracker
Technip was awarded by Sasol a contract to provide engineering and procurement for eight proprietary Ultra Selective Conversion (USC) furnaces for a world-scale ethane cracker and derivatives complex to be located in Lake Charles, Louisiana.
The award follows Sasol’s selection of Technip’s proprietary ethylene
technology and FEED for the cracker, which will produce an estimated 1.5 MMtpa of ethylene.
This award validates Technip’s strategy of early involvement to design an effective project execution scheme, bringing value to clients.
Technip’s operating center in Houston will execute the
project.
“Following the selection of our ethylene
technology during the early stage of this
project, Technip is pleased to expand our role by supplying the most critical part of the cracker, the furnaces,” said Stan Knez, Technip’s senior vice president of Technip Stone & Webster Process
Technology.
“In addition, Technip’s North America region also is playing a significant
project role, having been selected, with Fluor, to provide engineering, procurement and
construction management for the cracker and derivatives complex”.
Technip says it has widened its range of services and has reinforced its leadership in the downstream business since the acquisition of Stone & Webster process technologies in 2012.
