| ICA Fluor to build petrochemical plant in Mexico ICA Fluor, the industrial engineering and construction company jointly owned by Fluor Corporation and Empresas ICA Sociedad Controladora, announced it signed a lump sum contract with Indelpro, the leading polypropylene production company subsidiary of Alpek, for detailed engineering, construction, procurement and pre-commissioning services of a second line of polypropylene (PP) and the revamping of the existing propylene splitter. The project value for ICA Fluor is $108 million. Located in Altamira, Tamaulipas, Mexico, the new plant will be one of the largest and most modern facilities of its kind in the world, using the Spherizone technology by Basell. The main raw material used to produce polypropylene is propylene (monomer), a gas obtained from the primary processing of petroleum, which by chemical reactions is transformed into a polymer. The project has a target completion date in December 2007. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
