Primoris awarded US$18mn underground project
MARKET PROSPECTS The project is part of the Cutbank Ridge Partnership Program to develop natural gas and natural gas liquid (NGL) production, which includes three similar projects: Sunrise 04-26, Tower 03-07 and Saturn 15-27 Phase 2. Fluor is currently executing the EPCM for all three projects. The new facilities will receive sweet natural gas, remove water and hydrocarbons, chill and compress the gas to meet transmission pipeline requirements and recover NGL from the gas streams. The plants will have the capacity to process a combined additional 800 million cubic feet of gas per day. The Cutbank Ridge Partnership is an agreement between Mitsubishi Corp and Encana Corp which involves the long-term development of natural gas resources in Northeast British Columbia.
Jacobs to conduct pre-FID study for Baltic Gas Project
J
acobs Engineering Group Inc is to undertake a pre-final investment decision (Pre-FID) study for the onshore gas treatment plant of the Baltic Gas Project in the Polish sector of the Baltic Sea for Baltic Gas Sp zoo i wspólnicy sp k. The Baltic Gas Project involves the concurrent development of the B4 and B6 gas fields via offshore production facilities in the Baltic Sea; 110 km of subsea export pipelines to shore; and an onshore gas treatment plant. The gas will be processed through the onshore gas treatment plant to remove LPGs and condensate and produce gas to the required sales specification. Jacobs’ role includes developing the design for the onshore gas treatment plant and associated facilities and generating a capital cost estimate to underpin the final investment decision during the second half of 2016.
ICA Fluor to build US$1bn refining facility in Mexico
P
emex Transformación Industrial has authorised ICA Fluor, the industrial engineering and construction joint venture between
February 2016
Fluor Corp and Empresas ICA SAB de CV, to proceed with the engineering, procurement and construction (Phase II) of the Madero Clean Diesel project at the Madero Refinery in Tamaulipas, Mexico. ICA Fluor will provide detailed engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning and start-up services for two 25 000-barrel-per-day diesel hydrodesulfurisation trains and associated facilities. The project also includes the installation of new hydrogen, sulfur recovery and sour water treatment plants, the revamp of the existing diesel hydrodesulfurisation unit, and offsites and utilities to integrate the new production facility with the existing refinery. The project is scheduled to be completed in the first quarter of 2018. The project is part of Pemex’s clean fuels program that is designed to increase Mexico’s production of ultra-low sulfur diesel in accordance with applicable environmental standards.

Doosan secures US$294mn thermal power project in India
D
oosan Power Systems India (DPSI) has received the notice of award for a coal-fired project worth US$294 million from India’s state-run thermal power company National Thermal Power Corp (NTPC). DPSI will take charge of the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) and carry out the design, production and
installation of three 660 MW class boilers for the Barh Super Thermal Power Station in the state of Bihar in Northeast India. The project is scheduled for completion by November 2018.
PWT to upgrade US power plant’s feedwater system
O
riginClear Inc’s subsidiary Progressive Water Treatment Inc (PWT) has been awarded a US$700 000 contract for upgrading and expanding a large boiler feedwater treatment system at a power plant in the northeast of the US. In the upgrade, a modern ultrafiltration pretreatment system will feed both an existing and an expanded reverse osmosis system. The upgrade and expansion project will increase the existing plant from 400 GPM to 800 GPM production. This is PWT’s second large project award this year. In January, Minnesota-based public utility Xcel Energy awarded PWT a large-scale contract for a boiler feedwater treatment system.

Valmet to provide scrubber systems for 2 new cruise vessels
V
almet Corp is to supply exhaust gas scrubber systems (EGCS) for two new cruise vessels, Mein Schiff 7 & 8, to be built by Meyer Turku for TUI Cruises GmbH. The delivery will include integrated hybrid scrubber systems for both engine rooms and all auxiliary systems with automation. The exhaust gas is washed with seawater in open loop mode and with recirculated water and alkali in closed loop mode. Wash water is cleaned with Valmet’s patented water treatment system. All emissions are continuously monitored and the complete exhaust gas scrubber system is controlled with Valmet’s marine automation. The scrubber system deliveries for the first vessel will start in the fourth quarter of 2016. Deliveries for the second vessel will begin in the first quarter of 2017.
