We remind that, as MRC informed previously, in 2013, Foster Wheeler announced that a subsidiary of its global engineering and construction (E&C) group had been awarded a contract by Dow Chemical to provide services for the LA-3 crack more ethane (CME) project at Dow’s Plaquemine petrochemical complex in Louisiana. The services included detailed engineering, procurement and construction management (EPCm) work. The objective of the project is to improve the plant's ethane flexibility to take advantage of low-cost feedstock. The scope included brownfield additions and retrofit modifications to the plant. The project is part of Dow’s comprehensive US Gulf Coast investment strategy.
