Technip in Thailand steamcracker contract
Posted: 18 December 2006
Technip has been awarded a contract by Map Ta Phut Olefins Co. Ltd. (MOC, a joint venture between Siam Cement Group and DOW Chemicals) for the construction of the furnace section of a steamcracker located in Map Ta Phut, Thailand.
The lumpsum turnkey contract, worth approximately $150 million, covers basic and detailed engineering, procurement and supply of materials, construction, pre-commissioning, and training of the owner’s personnel.
Technip’s operations and engineering center in Zoetermeer, near the Hague in the Netherlands, will execute the contract.
Technip’s operations and engineering center in Bangkok (Thailand) will provide logistic support and perform the construction.
This furnace section will be based on Technip’s proprietary GK6 cracking furnace technology and will allow the MOC plant to reach a production capacity of 1.7 million tons olefins.
The cracker is scheduled to be operated in 2010.
