Jacobs Receives Petro-Canada Refinery Contract
Work begins immediately on the front-end engineering and design phase and will continue into detailed engineering by the second quarter of 2005. Jacobs is providing engineering, procurement, and construction/construction management services on a new 400-ton-per-day sulphur recovery complex employing Jacobs' proprietary SUPERCLAUS(R) technology to recover sulphur from gases containing H2S. Units include two Claus trains, complete with Incinerator and Stack, sour water stripping, amine regeneration, and fuel gas scrubbing. Jacobs has over 450 units licensed and/or constructed. In making the announcement, Jacobs Group Vice President Greg Landry stated, "This opportunity further strengthens our 40-year relationship with Petro-Canada and its predecessor companies, for whom we've provided EPC and maintenance services at all four of their refineries. This upgrader assignment capitalizes on our world-class sulphur removal technology, as well as our experience from having designed over 47 percent of Alberta's installed sulphur recovery capacity. This contract marks our first grass roots opportunity to provide a Canadian client with a total sulphur removal design solution from technology through project execution."
