CB&I (The Woodlands, Tex.; www.cbi.com) announced it has been awarded a contract by LUKOIL NizhegorodNefteorgSyntez, a subsidiary of JSC LUKOIL, for the detailed engineering, procurement and supply of process equipment, including two proprietary delayed coking heaters for the Deep Conversion Complex in Kstovo City, central Russia. The units will use Chevron Lummus Global’s (CLG) delayed coking technology for the processing of 2,100 KTA of refinery residues.
CLG offers the most complete, bottom-of-the-barrel upgrading solutions. In addition to the engineering, procurement and supply contract announced today, CB&I is continuing to work closely with LUKOIL to assess a broader range of solutions for the project.
“CB&I is pleased to be providing a wide range of services to LUKOIL for their project,” said Duncan Wigney, CB&I’s Executive Vice President of Engineering & Construction. “CLG was previously awarded the coking technology license, and this award demonstrates the value CB&I can bring through an array of technology and engineering solutions to the Russian region.”
Separately, CB&I also announced that it was selected by HPCL Mittal Energy Ltd. (HMEL) for the license and basic engineering of a 1,200,000 metric tons per year (m.t./yr) mixed-feeds ethylene plant for the Guru Gobind Singh refinery in Bathinda, India. The plant has the capability of being expanded to 1,500,000 m.t./yr. The scope of work includes recovering refinery offgas and integration with the ethylene plant, pyrolosis gasoline hydrogenation and detailed engineering for CB&I’s proprietary highly selective Short Residence Time (SRT) VII cracking heaters.
“During the last 30 years, CB&I has licensed 44 percent of the world’s ethylene production,” said Daniel M. McCarthy, CB&I’s Executive Vice President of Technology. “This award demonstrates HMEL’s confidence in our technology, engineering solutions and commercial experience.”
