CB&I has been awarded a contract by PETRONAS for the license and engineering design work for five petrochemicals units. The project is part of the new refinery and petrochemicals integrated development (RAPID) project to be located in Johor, Malaysia. “CB&I is excited to be working with PETRONAS on this important project by providing several key technologies from our petrochemicals portfolio,” said Daniel McCarthy, president of CB&I’s Lummus Technology. “The RAPID project will allow PETRONAS to expand its products portfolio, capitalizing on the demand for higher value products in the region.” Lummus Technology said it will provide technology for a world-scale steam cracker complex comprising ethylene, butadiene, benzene, isobutylene and MTBE units.
