Fluor to Design and Manage Olefins Complex in Kuwait
The billion-plus dollar, integrated petrochemical complex, known as the Olefins II Program, will be located approximately 25 miles south of Kuwait City in Shuaiba. It will include construction of an 850,000-tons-per-year cracker, a 600,000-tons-per-year ethylene glycol unit, a 50,000-tons-per-year ethyl benzene/styrene monomer unit and a debottleneck expansion of an additional 225,000 tons per year of polyethylene capacity at the existing complex. The completed facility will double the capacity at the existing olefins complex. Work will be executed by employees in Fluor's Haarlem, the Netherlands, office, who will work with personnel from various technology licensor offices. Groundbreaking is scheduled for early 2005, with completion expected in 2007. Find out more about Fluor Search for more Fluor News Added to site on 17/11/04 |
