Chicago Bridge & Iron Company N.V. has secured a deal with PT Chandra Asri Petrochemical Tbk (CAP) to provide materials to be used in the refurbishment of its cracked heaters in the naphtha cracker plant located in Cilegon, Indonesia. The refurbishment is expected to help boost CAP’s production capacity for ethylene from 860,000 tpa to 900,000 tpa. This will allow CAP to satisfy the growing demand for petrochemical products in Indonesia. CB&I had previously offered the basic and detailed engineering as well as the naphtha cracker revamp project.
“This award builds upon our long relationship with CAP, the largest integrated petrochemical producer in Indonesia. CAP’s naphtha cracker has been in service for more than 20 years using CB&I’s industry-leading ethylene technology and pyrolysis heaters,” stated Luke V. Scorsone, the executive VP CB&I’s Fabrication Services operating group.
