:: 9 Oct  2012 ::

Johor - Jacobs Engineering has received a contract from Malaysia's Petronas to develop a basic engineering package for three sulfur recovery units (SRUs) as part of the Refinery and Petrochemical Integrated Development (Rapid) project in Johor, Malaysia.

Jacobs is licensing its Superclaus technology to Petronas for the three SRUs.  The technology offers "highly valued performance features in areas such as reliability, sulfur recovery levels, sulfur emissions reduction and simple continuous operation," Jacobs noted.

Petronas' $20-billion Rapid project includes a 300,000-b/d refinery, a naphtha cracker to produce about 3-million t/y of ethylene, propylene, C4 and C5 olefins, and several downstream petrochemical units.
