ABB wins $30 million order in Brazil

Swiss engineering group ABB has received a $30-million order from Latin America's largest petrochemical producer to implement maintenance and performance improvements at six petrochemical plants in Brazil.

ABB will take over maintenance of instrumentation, rotating and electrical equipment at Braskem's basic petrochemicals and vinyl units in Camacari, in the state of Bahia. The two-year, renewable contract includes both fixed payments and a variable bonus linked to the reliability of production processes and cost reductions. Key performance indicators will track variables such as reduction in materials consumption and production gains.

Braskem makes basic petrochemicals and thermoplastic resins at 14 facilities across Brazil.
