MOSCOW (MRC) -- CB&I has been awarded a contract valued in excess of USD50 million by the Daelim-Petrofac venture for the design and supply of delayed coking, hydrocracking, crude and vacuum heaters and a steam reformer for the Oman Refineries and Petrochemicals Co. (Orpic) project located in Sohar, Oman, reported Hydrocarbonprocessing.
Under separate contracts with Orpic, CB&I provided the process technology for the delayed coker unit and its Chevron Lummus Global joint venture provided the technology for the hydrocracker unit.
CB&I also performed the FEED, as previously announced, and is serving as project management consultant to Orpic for the project.
"We have successfully executed a range of projects for Orpic," said Daniel McCarthy, president of CB&I's technology operating group.
"This is another contract that emphasizes our ability to provide a complete supply chain solution for our customers," he added.
As MRC informed earlier, CB&I and Clariant, a world leader in specialty chemicals, have recently announced that their new Ziegler-Natta (ZN) polypropylene catalyst plant in Louisville, Kentucky, is on schedule to begin production in 2015. The partnership strengthens both companies' position in polypropylene catalyst and technology by leveraging Clariant’s catalyst research and development and production know-how together with CB&I’s vast knowledge in catalyst, process design and licensing of polypropylene plants.
