Fluor awarded Sasol oxygen train project in Secunda, South Africa
Fluor Corporation has been awarded a contract by Sasol Group Technology, a division of Sasol South Africa Ltd., for the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) of the Additional Oxygen Capacity Train 17 outside battery limits project at its Secunda plant in South Africa. Fluor will book the undisclosed contract value in 3Q of 2016.
The Additional Oxygen Capacity Train 17 project comprises the construction and commissioning of the world’s largest air separation unit at the Secunda Synfuels Operations site.
Fluor will provide engineering, procurement and construction of the outside battery limits facilities for this project including the integration of Train 17’s product streams with other live operations. These include high pressure oxygen, high pressure and low pressure nitrogen as well as dry air. Also included in the scope is the supply of electricity with associated infrastructure and utilities upgrades to the air separation unit.
Fluor’s relationship with Sasol dates back to the award of the first project in Sasolburg in the early 1960s. In 1975, Fluor was named the managing contractor by Sasol to provide EPC services for Sasol II, and later for Sasol III, the Secunda oil-from-coal complexes, and has since supported various other Sasol projects globally.
