Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. has received a contract from Al Rajhi Petrochemical Group to provide front-end engineering services for a US$50 million benzene recovery plant. The plant, located at Al-Jubail, Saudi Arabia, is scheduled for commissioning at the end of 2008. The new facility will have a production facility to the tune of 15,000 metric tpa of benzene and 2,500 tpa of toluene using extractive distillation technology. Once on stream, the new benzene recovery unit will provide 50% of the feedstock to Al Rajhi's existing linear alkyl benzene (LAB).
The project scope has the potential to develop into engineering, procurement, and construction management services.
