Fluor has been awarded a contract by Dow Chemical to provide basic engineering and design services on its propane dehydrogenation (PDH) expansion project in Freeport, Texas.
The undisclosed contract value will be booked in the second quarter of 2011.
“We are pleased to have been selected by Dow as their partner for this important expansion project,” said Peter Oosterveer, president of Fluor's energy and chemicals group.
“We are also encouraged to see a renewed focus on growth and expansion in the chemical industry in the United States.”
The basic engineering will be executed in Fluor’s Houston office with support from its office in Manila, Philippines.
Once construction is complete, the facility will produce polymer-grade propylene.
