(Johannesburg, South Africa; www.sasol.co.za) a contract to provide engineering and procurement for eight proprietary Ultra Selective Conversion (USC) furnaces for a world-scale ethane cracker and derivatives complex to be located in Lake Charles, La., U.S. The award follows Sasol’s selection of Technip’s proprietary ethylene technology and FEED for the cracker, which will produce an estimated 1.5 million tons per annum of ethylene. This award validates Technip’s strategy of early involvement to design an effective project execution scheme, bringing value to clients. Technip’s operating center in Houston will execute the project.
