Technip
gets contract for petrochemical plant in China
Posted: 23 September 2003
Technip has been awarded, by Cangzhou Cang Hua Chemical Industry,
a contract worth about US $50 million for a VCM/PVC plant to be
built in their existing petrochemical complex at Guangzhou in the
Hebei Province, China.
This contract covers the license, basic and detailed engineering,
supply of key equipment and materials as well as technical assistance
for construction and commissioning. The project will be carried
out by Technip’s engineering center in Kuala Lumpur.
The plant is scheduled to be completed in August 2005. It will
produce 400,000 tons/year of VCM/PVC (vinyl chloride monomer/polyvinyl
chloride) from EDC (ethane dichloride) and will use Technip’s
EDC cracking technology. This client had already selected Technip
in 1997 for a 120,000 tons/year VCM unit.
VCM is an intermediate chemical to produce PVC, a plastic commonly
used in the piping and construction industries.
Technip has been working in China for 30 years, particularly in
the petrochemical, chemical and fertilizers sectors. Altogether
Technip has designed and built over 100 units on 50 different sites.
This new contract follows two contracts won by the Group in 2003:
a chemical plant for BASF and two polyethylene units for SECCO,
all three at Caojing near Shanghai
