Petronas Invites EPCC Contract Bids For Some Rapid Project PC Plants:: 17 Jun 2013 :: Kuala Lumpur - Malaysia's Petronas has invited a tender under Package 8 of the Refinery and Petrochemicals Integrated Development (Rapid) project for the engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning of the cumene, phenol and bisphenol-A production units, local reports said. The project, being established in Pengerang, Johor, involves a 300,000-b/d refinery to supply feedstock for the production of about 3-million t/y of ethylene, propyl-ene, C4 and C5 olefins and several downstream units. Petronas stipulated that the prospective bidder, consortium or joint venture must have relevant experience in the engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning of the specified production facilities. PCN recently reported the selection of Lyondell-Basell's Spheripol technology for two 300,000-t/y polypropylene plants, and the selection of Ineos' Innovene G platform for a new 350,000-t/y linear low- and high-density polyethylene unit, both being built as part of the Rapid project. Separately, the National News Agency of Malaysia reported that the first phase of Petronas' Rapid project will be completed by the first quarter of 2017, a year beyond the earlier target of 2016. The delay was attributed to “the water management problem." |
