Jacobs Awarded Suncor FEED Contract

A Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. subsidiary has received a contract to provide front-end engineering and detailed design services for the new sulphur complex at Suncor's oil sands facility near Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada.

This scope represents the second stage of engineering design work that Jacobs began in 2004 for Suncor's Voyageur Sulphur Complex, which includes two sour water strippers, an amine unit, two sulphur recovery trains including a future third train, sulphur degassing, and an LT SCOT tail gas treating unit. The project represents the first application of the new LT SCOT Process in North America and the largest application of the process to date. This process is designed to lower operating costs by applying a more efficient catalyst.

In making the announcement, Jacobs Group Vice President Greg Landry stated, "The award of this project is another example of the continuing strength of our 38-year relationship with Suncor. We are grateful for this opportunity and look forward to delivering the added value we bring to this project by applying the latest in our sulphur processing technologies."
