The Shaw Group has announced that its energy and chemicals group has been awarded a contract to provide its proprietary ethylene furnace technology for a 600KTA grassroots ethylene plant for the PetroChina Daqing Petrochemical Company in China.
The plant will be located in Daqing in the Heilongjiang Province. The scope of work will cover furnace technology licensing, basic engineering, procurement of key equipment and materials, technical training, commissioning and start-up services.
The value of Shaw's contract, which was included in the company's previously announced backlog of unfilled orders, was not disclosed.
Lou Pucher, president of Shaw's energy and chemicals group, said: "Shaw continues to work closely with China's olefins producers to license its technology and has helped source more than three million tons of ethylene production capacity in China during the past 30 years."
