MOSCOW (MRC) -- Chandra Asri Petrochemical (CAP) has awarded a material supply agreement to CB&I for the revamp of existing furnaces at CAP's naphtha cracker plant in Cilegon, Banten, Indonesia, as per Apic-online.
CAP's project involves increasing ethylene production capacity to 900,000 t/y from 860,000 t/y, propylene capacity to 490,000 t/y from 470,000 t/y, py-gas capacity to 420,000 t/y from 400,000 t/y and mixed C4 capacity to 330,000 t/y from 315,000 t/y. Construction is planned to begin in the third quarter of 2018 and completion is expected in the first quarter of 2020.
The contract, for which a value was not disclosed, fol-lows a basic and detailed engineering services agreement signed between the companies earlier this year.
This past May, CB&I was also awarded a contract from CAP's Petrokimia Butadiene Indonesia subsidiary to provide three proprietary technologies for a butadiene expansion project at the integrated naphtha cracker complex.
Butadiene capacity will be increased by up to 37% from 100,000 t/y currently. Start-up is planned in the third quarter of 2018.
The butadiene plant consumes mixed C4 produced from CAP's olefins facility.
