Fluor Corporation (NYSE: FLR) has started construction activities on a
new delayed coker unit for ExxonMobil Petroleum & Chemical BVBA
(ExxonMobil) at its Antwerp, Belgian refinery. Construction on the
project, which will expand the refinery’s production capabilities,
formally kicked off at a groundbreaking ceremony in October.
Fluor’s responsibilities span the project’s life cycle and include
design, engineering, procurement, module fabrication, transportation,
installation and construction. Fluor is responsible for the new delayed
coker unit that will convert heavy, higher sulfur residual oils into
transportation fuel products such as marine gasoil and diesel fuel.
“Fluor will provide our full suite of engineering, procurement and
construction services on this lump-sum refinery expansion project for
the European downstream market,” said Taco
de Haan, president of Fluor’s Energy & Chemicals business for the
Europe, Africa and the Middle East region. “We are applying our modular
execution and construction innovations in order to deliver schedule and
capital efficiencies through an integrated solution to ExxonMobil.”
Engineering and design work for the project began in June 2014 and is
being led by Fluor’s office in the Netherlands. Fluor booked the project
into backlog for an undisclosed value earlier in 2014.
