CB&I WINS EPC CONTRACT FOR LNG TERMINAL EXPANSION CB&I has been awarded a US$90 million lump-sum turnkey contract for a liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal expansion project near Savannah, Georgia, USA. CB&I will perform the engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning for the project, which will increase the facility’s storage volume by approximately 80% to 7.3 billion cubic feet. The terminal, one of four LNG import facilities in the USA, is owned and operated by Southern LNG Inc. CB&I’s work scope includes a new 160 000 cubic metre LNG storage tank, a 540 MMSCFD send-out system, two LNG ship unloading stations, and related civil, mechanical, electrical and insulation works. The terminal expansion is expected to be completed by the end of 2005.
PULP & PAPER METSO REBUILDS NORSKE SKOG’S PAPER MACHINES Metso Paper will rebuild Norske Skog’s two paper machines in Bruck, Austria and Halden, Norway by March 2004, in projects worth 22 million. In Austria, Metso Paper will supply the Bruck mill with a wet end rebuild for a LWC paper machine (PM 4), including a headbox and a wire selection. The machine was originally supplied by Beloit in 1989. The modernization will improve the paper quality and increase the production.

Metso Paper will also upgrade a SC paper machine (PM 6) at the Saugbrug mill in Halden, Norway. The delivery will include a headbox and changes to the dryer section. The machine was originally supplied by Valmet in 1993. The modernization will improve the production capacity of the machine.
METSO, SHI FORM JAPANESE JV Metso Paper Inc, Metso Automation Inc and Sumitomo Heavy Industries Ltd (SHI) have agreed to form a joint venture company to enhance the product offering and service to the Japanese pulp and paper industry especially in modernizations and rebuilds. Metso will own 65% and SHI 35% of the joint venture company, which will start up in October 2003. By combining Metso Paper’s and SHI’s resources in pulp and paper technology with Metso Automation’s process automation and control know-how, it can deliver more integrated solutions to Japanese customers. The joint venture will source its machinery from Metso Corp globally and Sumitomo Heavy Industries’ Techno Fort in Japan.
AKER KVAERNER WINS US$30M CONTRACT IN CHINA Aker Kvaerner’s Chemetics business has entered into a US$30 million contract for equipment supply and engineering services for an integrated chlorine dioxide plant for a new greenfield pulp mill in China. Chemetics will supply an integrated chlorine dioxide system rated at 70 t/d. This will be the largest system of its kind in the world.
WATER & WASTEWATER CHICAGO MASTER PLAN UNDER DEVELOPMENT Engineering firm Black & Veatch and consulting engineers Greeley and Hansen have been selected by The Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago (MWRDGC) to develop a master plan to guide capital improvements for the 1200 million gallon per day (mgd) Stickney Water Reclamation Plant (WRP). The Stickney WRP is one of the largest wastewater treatment facilities in the world, serving more than 2 million people in a 260 square mile area of Chicago. “Our first step is to evaluate components of the Stickney WRP that will require improvements and upgrades over the next 20 years,” said Gary Shimp, Black & Veatch Stickney project manager. The Stickney WRP has been in service since the 1930s. The master plan, which is scheduled to be completed in 2005, will enable the MWRDGC to make orderly and planned improvements to its facilities over the coming years.
VA TECH WABAG TO UPGRADE WÜRZBURG DRINKING WATER The independent German utility TWV Trinkwasserversorgung Würzburg GmbH has selected VA Tech Wabag to supply the process and electro-mechanical equipment for the refurbishment of the Würzburg, Germany water works.
The project is particularly challenging for VA Tech Wabag as the new equipment has to be installed in the existing building using extremely limited space, and the new drainage system has to be tailored to the existing concrete pressure filters. Following start-up by the end of 2004, the new plant is expected to treat 20 000 m³ water from the river Main using flocculation, precipitation, sedimentation, soil passage, ozonization, multi-layer and activated carbon filtration processes as well as sterilising by disinfection.
GENERAL FLUOR EYES IRAQ OPPORTUNITIES Fluor Corp has invited qualified suppliers and contractors that are interested in working with the US company on future projects in Iraq, Kuwait and Afghanistan to submit a company profile through its website at www.fluor.com. Fluor says that it is continuing to focus on reconstruction efforts in post-conflict Iraq and Afghanistan. While the release of actual work programmes has slowed due to stabilization and security issues, Fluor remains confident that it will be a key player in helping with overall reconstruction efforts in the region. The company is continuing to work with a number of US federal agencies expanding on projects already awarded in the region. Fluor is also developing a comprehensive engineering, procurement, construction and maintenance services offering with the aim of supporting both near-term reconstruction projects as well as longer-term industrial expansion for the general area.
