Business Wire
Fluor Corporation (NYSE: FLR) has started construction
activities on a new delayed coker unit for ExxonMobil Petroleum
& Chemical BVBA (ExxonMobil) at its Antwerp, Belgian refinery.
Construction on the project, which will expand the refinery’s
production capabilities, formally kicked off at a groundbreaking
ceremony in October.
Fluor’s responsibilities span the project’s life cycle and
include design, engineering, procurement, module fabrication,
transportation, installation and construction. Fluor is responsible
for the new delayed coker unit that will convert heavy, higher
sulfur residual oils into transportation fuel products such as
marine gasoil and diesel fuel.
“Fluor will provide our full suite of engineering, procurement
and construction services on this lump-sum refinery expansion
project for the European downstream market,” said Taco de Haan,
president of Fluor’s Energy & Chemicals business for the
Europe, Africa and the Middle East region. “We are applying our
modular execution and construction innovations in order to deliver
schedule and capital efficiencies through an integrated solution to
ExxonMobil.”
Engineering and design work for the project began in June 2014
and is being led by Fluor’s office in the Netherlands. Fluor booked
the project into backlog for an undisclosed value earlier in
2014.
