Foster Wheeler AG announced that its UK-headquartered subsidiary Foster Wheeler Energy Limited, part of its Global Engineering and Construction Group, has been awarded a contract for the design and supply of a Terrace-Wall™ steam reforming furnace by BP Chemicals Ltd. The Terrace-Wall™ reformer will replace the existing reformer at BP's chemicals complex at Saltend, near Hull, UK.

Foster Wheeler's Terrace-Wall™ reformer is characterized by a firing arrangement and sloped-wall radiant section design that enable long catalyst and catalyst tube life, providing operational, reliability and cost benefits. Foster Wheeler has supplied over 200 Terrace-Wall™ steam reformers to the refining and petrochemical industries in more than 40 countries worldwide.
