The project is owned by Companhia Vale do Rio Doce (CVRD), which is the largest diversified mining company in the Americas. Aker Kvaerner is currently acting as owner’s engineer for the development of the Sossego Copper Sulphide project, owned by a subsidiary of CVRD. The scope of the study included crushing, leaching, agglomeration, and solvent extraction–electrowinning facilities for processing 6–7 million tonnes per year of ore; and infrastructure necessary to support the projected operations. CVRD intends to develop between four and six copper deposits in Brazil in the next few years.
POWER GENERATION ICA FLUOR DANIEL TO BUILD 498 MW MEXICAN POWER PLANT Iberdrola Energia SA has awarded a contract to ICA Fluor Daniel for the construction of a combinedcycle power plant in Gomez Palacios, Durango, Mexico. The US$250 million La Laguna II plant, scheduled for completion in April 2005, will have a capacity of 498 MW and will provide electricity to the booming northern industrial zone of Mexico, as well as stabilizing the electrical grid in the area. Power generated will be sold to the Federal Electricity Commission, under its programme to develop independent power producers. The contract is a 30month, lump-sum, turnkey project that involves engineering, procurement, construction and start-up services. ICA Fluor Daniel is the industrial engineering company jointly owned by Fluor Corp and Empresas ICA Sociedad Controladora.

FW TO SUPPLY MWe TURNKEY BOILER PLANT IN POLAND Foster Wheeler Energia Oy and its Polish subsidiary, Foster Wheeler Energia Polska Sp zoo, have signed a contract with Poland’s Poludniowy Koncern Energetyczny (PKE) to supply a boiler island to a 460 MWe power plant at Lagisza in southern Poland. The contract is valued at approximately US$145.8 million. The new unit will be built alongside PKE’s existing 840 MWe power station at Lagisza, northeast of Katowice in Upper Silesia, and is part of an ongoing programme by PKE to replace outdated capacity with modern, highefficiency, environmentally friendly technologies. Operating seven other power stations in southern and western Poland, PKE is the country’s largest electricity utility, with 5056 MW of installed generating capacity.
SIEMENS POSTS POWER PLANT ORDERS WORTH 1.3 BILLION The Siemens Power Generation Group (PG) has secured 1.3 billion in power plant orders from Germany, Spain, Morocco and Mexico. The German utility GEW RheinEnergie AG has contracted PG to construct a 250 million combined heat and power plant in Cologne. In northern Spain, Siemens will build a 550 million 760 MW combined-cycle power plant. Siemens will construct a 384 MW combined-cycle plant, valued at over 400 million, near Tangiers, Morocco. The group also secured an 180 million order in Mexico for the construction of two simple-cycle power plants.
CHEMICALS SNC-LAVALIN TO BUILD AMMONIA PLANT IN AUSTRALIA SNC-Lavalin (SA) Inc has signed a contract worth more than US$300 million with Burrup Fertilisers Pty Ltd for the engineering, procurement and construction of an anhydrous ammonia production plant on the Burrup Peninsula in Karratha, Western Australia. The project includes an ammonia plant, with a production capacity of 2200 tonnes of ammonia per day, as well as utilities and associated facilities to support production. The ammonia plant technology will be supplied by Kellogg Brown and Root. Project management and engineering coordination will be based at SNC-Lavalin’s Perth, Australia office. Engineering work will start in January 2003, with construction completed within 30 months.
TECHNIPCOFLEXIP WINS CHINESE CONTRACT Technip-Coflexip is to build an integrated production facility for polytetrahydrofuran (PolyTHF) and tetrahydrofuran (THF) for BASF in the newly developed Shanghai Chemical Industry Park at Caojing, Shanghai, China. Technip-Coflexip’s scope of work covers engineering, procurement services as well as construction management. Engineering and procurement will be performed in TechnipCoflexip’s engineering centres in Kuala Lumpur and Shanghai. This project is a whollyowned investment of BASF
and will use BASF’s newly developed proprietary technology to convert butane directly to THF and subsequently to PolyTHF. With an annual capacity of 60 000 metric tons of PolyTHF and 80 000 metric tons of THF, it will be the largest PolyTHF production facility worldwide. The plants are scheduled for completion in the second half of 2004.
SUMITOMO, SHELL STUDY ETHYLENE PLANT PROPOSAL Sumitomo Chemical Co Ltd and Shell Chemicals Ltd are to jointly conduct a feasibility study for the possible construction of a new worldscale ethylene plant in Singapore. The envisaged ethylene plant will be located on Bukom Island, Singapore, with an ethylene production capacity of 1 million tonnes per year. If the feasibility study results in a decision to proceed, the plant is expected to start up in 2007, depending on supply and demand.
PULP & PAPER UPM-KYMMENE TO BUILD A NEW PAPER MACHINE IN CHINA UPM-Kymmene Corp will build a new fine paper machine at its Changshu mill and will also significantly increase the mill’s capacity to produce coated fine papers. The Changshu mill began operations in 1999, and in 2000 UPM-Kymmene became the sole owner of the mill. The new machine is scheduled to start-up during the first quarter in 2005. The main raw material of the mill is tropical hardwood pulp.
