Technip Wins Saudi Expansion Project
Technip-Coflexip will provide a low-pressure gas sweetening unit, two new sulfur recovery units, a new feed gas compressor, the revamp and capacity increase of the existing propane refrigeration unit, the upgrade of the existing sulfur recovery units to meet higher recovery rates, the upgrade of the inlet and flare facilities, additional sulfur storage capacity and the expansion of the existing utility systems to serve the new facilities.
Low-pressure gas sweetening capacity will thus be increased by 250 MMSCFD to a total of 871 MMSCFD for industrial consumption, while sulfur recovery capacity will be increased by 1330 metric tons/day to a total of 3313 metric tons/day.
Technip-Coflexip services will include project management, detail engineering, procurement of equipment and materials, construction management, construction, pre-commissioning and assistance to commissioning. The overall project will be carried out by Technip-Coflexip's engineering center in Rome, with the construction being handled by the Group's local affiliate Technip Saudi Arabia. The project is scheduled to begin in early March 2002 and completion is slated for November 2005.
