SENER leads construction of ethylene storage and regas terminal in France
SENER leads the consortium of a turnkey contract to build an ethylene storage and regasification terminal in Fos-sur-Mer (region of Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur, France) after signing an agreement with the French chemical company Kem One, owner of the future facility.
According to the contract, SENER will be responsible for the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) for the foundations of the complex, the piping, structural, insulation, electrical and control systems, the concrete tank to store up to 30,000 m3 of ethylene, and for the main ethylene unloading and regasification equipment. SENER will also handle the connection to the existing Kem One terminal.
The project, which SENER will build in consortium with the French engineering company Tissot, will be completed by 2021. Once up and running, the terminal will provide Kem One with a stable supply of ethylene, which it requires to produce its PVC materials. Kem One is currently the second largest European producer of PVC, placing its products in the construction, health and automotive markets.
This ethylene terminal sets a new benchmark that allows SENER to solidify its standing as a European leader in projects to regasify and store cryogenic products, alongside notable work like the EPC done for the regasification plants in Dunkirk (France) and Gate terminal (Netherlands), the addition of a third tank at the regasification plant in Ciérvana (Vizcaya, Spain), and the regasification plant in Sagunto (Valencia, Spain).
