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.
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.
President of Fluor's Energy & Chemical Business
for the Europe, Africa and the Middle East region
“Fluor will provide our full suite of engineering, procurement
and construction services on
this lump-sum refinery expansion project
for the European downstream market,”
“We are applying our modular execution and
construction innovations in order to
deliver schedule and capital efficiencies
through an integrated solution to ExxonMobil.”
