Technip ranks among the top five corporations in the field of oil, gas and petrochemical engineering, construction and services. Headquartered in Paris, the company has been awarded contract for the construction of an ethylene plant at the new Olefins-2 Petrochemical Complex in Shuaiba to play a significant role in Kuwait's program of increasing its ethylene derivatives production by 2008. The company has a Memorandum of Understanding with The Kuwait Olefins Company (TKOC), Kuwait (PIC) and Kuwaiti Private Companies for the construction of this plant in mid June. The plant is estimated to have a production capacity of 850,000 mta, to be based on Technip's in-house technology. The basic engineering for the proprietary SMK® cracking furnaces, as well as the front-end design for the recovery section are already known to have been provided by Technip's engineering center in Claremont, California.
Technip's SMK® technology has been a preferred choice of various ethylene producers for cracking gas feeds and this company is one of the very few who can assume complete responsibility for steam crackers, from conceptual design to turnkey execution and construction on a lump sum basis.
