IRVING, Texas & FARNBOROUGH, U.K.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Fluor
Corporation (NYSE: FLR) announced that its engineering, procurement
and construction project for INEOS’ new energy plant at the Grangemouth
refinery complex on the Firth of Forth in Scotland is underway and has
made significant progress.
“Fluor is supporting INEOS’ strategic investment plans with this
important project that will improve energy efficiency and resilience at
Grangemouth, one of the UK’s largest manufacturing sites,” said Simon
Nottingham, president of Fluor’s Energy & Chemicals business in
Europe, Africa and Middle East. “Fluor is using its in-depth
cogeneration expertise to optimize design and minimize the impact on
existing operations while delivering execution excellence through cost
and schedule certainty.”
The new energy plant will replace existing facilities that have been
providing steam and power to the refinery and petrochemical plants for
more than 40 years. The new plant will have the capacity to produce high
pressure steam to be used in the industrial processes undertaken at the
Grangemouth complex. The plant will also generate electricity to support
the site’s self-sufficiency and export.
Fluor’s scope of work includes design, procurement, construction and
commissioning support for three boilers to create superheated high
pressure steam. A pipe bridge will be built to provide a connection to
the wider site.
Fluor’s Farnborough office is leading the project supported by the
company’s global experts and is working in an integrated team with INEOS
engineers. Fluor previously undertook the front-end engineering design
for the new energy plant.
Fluor’s UK office serves a wide range of industries including energy,
chemicals, government, life sciences, advanced manufacturing,
infrastructure, mining and power market sectors.
