| Technip to construct furnace section of a steamcracker in Thailand Technip has been awarded a contract by Map Ta Phut Olefins Co. Ltd. (MOC, a joint venture between Siam Cement Group and DOW Chemicals) for the construction of the furnace section of a steamcracker located in Map Ta Phut, Thailand. The lumpsum turnkey contract, worth approximately $150 million, covers basic and detailed engineering, procurement and supply of materials, construction, pre-commissioning, and training of the owner's personnel. Technip's operations and engineering center in Zoetermeer, near the Hague in the Netherlands, will execute the contract. Technip's operations and engineering center in Bangkok (Thailand) will provide logistic support and perform the construction. This furnace section will be based on Technip's proprietary GK6 cracking furnace technology. This proprietary Technip technology allows the furnace to operate on a range of feedstocks from naphta to heavy oils, with a very high selectivity and a long on-stream time. The cracker is scheduled to be operated in 2010. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
