HOUSTON, June 4, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- McDermott
International, Inc. (NYSE: MDR) today participated in a
groundbreaking ceremony on a previously announced ethane cracker
project in Port Arthur, Texas,
with its customer for the project Bayport Polymers LLC ("Bay-Pol"),
a joint venture of Total Petrochemicals & Refining USA, Inc., and Novealis Holdings LLC (a joint
venture of Borealis AG and NOVA Chemicals Inc.).
The scope of work on the project includes the engineering,
procurement and construction (EPC) for the cracker that will have
an ethylene capacity of 1,000 Kta (kilo tonnes per annum).
McDermott previously provided front-end engineering and design
(FEED) services for this project. McDermott is also providing the
ethylene technology license and will supply SRT-III® (Short
Residence Time) pyrolysis heaters for the cracker.
"This project for Bay-Pol is an excellent example of our
end-to-end capabilities," said Richard
Heo, Senior Vice President for North, Central and
South America. "Bay-Pol and its
members licensed our technology and selected us to undertake the
FEED for this project, and now we are providing full EPC as well as
supplying our proprietary heaters. Our ability to provide all of
these services throughout the major phases of a petrochemical
project provides tremendous value to our customers."
