oster Wheeler has been awarded a contract by Zeeland Refinery NV, a joint venture between Total and LUKOIL, for engineering, procurement assistance and construction management assistance for the upgrade of the distillate hydrocracker at the Zeeland Refinery located at Vlissingen, the Netherlands. The project is designed to maximise the throughput of the distillate hydrocracker by debottlenecking the unit’s reaction and fractionation sections of the distillate hydrocracker. Foster Wheeler’s work on the refinery is expected to be completed by June 2014.

PETROCHEMICALS
acobs Engineering Group Inc is to develop a basic engineering package for three sulfur recovery units (SRUs) for PETRONAS, the state-owned oil company of Malaysia. PETRONAS’ new, three-train sulfur plant is part of the Refinery and Petrochemical Integrated Development (RAPID) Project site in the state of Johor, Malaysia. Through RAPID, PETRONAS is establishing an optimally configured, integrated refinery and petrochemical complex that will produce high, value-added petrochemicals. This involves building a refinery to supply naphtha and to produce gasoline and diesel that meet European clean fuels specifications. The petrochemical complex is designed and developed to produce ethylene and olefins that are used in downstream plants to produce petrochemical derivatives.

NPEX Corp has awarded Technip an offshore commissioning contract, worth approximately E210 million, for the Ichthys LNG Project located in Western Australia’s Browse Basin. An integrated team will work on all activities related to the preparation and execution of the offshore commissioning for the floating, production, storage and offloading unit and the central processing facility. Technip’s operating centre in Perth, Australia will execute the contract starting immediately. The first gas from the Ichthys LNG Project is scheduled for delivery in 2016.
POWER GENERATION
FW to supply CFB steam generator to South Korea
A
Foster Wheeler AG subsidiary is to design and supply a circulating fluidized-bed (CFB) steam generator for an industrial complex in Yeosu City, South Korea. Foster Wheeler will design and supply the 60 MWe (gross megawatt electric) CFB steam generator as well as auxiliary equipment and provide site advisory services for Yeosu Cogeneration Corp. The CFB steam generator will burn coal while meeting all applicable environmental standards. Commercial operation of the new steam generator is scheduled for the first quarter of 2015.
