The contract award is part of the major grassroots expansion of refining capacity at the Ruwais Industrial Complex in the United Arab Emirates. In addition to its RFCC technology, Shaw also will provide engineering services to integrate and coordinate 11 new process units from other licensors at the site.
"Shaw, together with its partners, Axens and Total, is a market leader in the application of RFCC technology and its integration into the petrochemical industry," said Lou Pucher, president of Shaw's Energy & Chemicals Group.
"This unit - at 127,100 barrels per stream day - is the world's largest under design and features Shaw's advanced light olefins recovery and purification technology for maximum polymer grade propylene production."
The value of Shaw's contract, which has been included in the company's previously announced backlog of unfilled orders, was not disclosed. Shaw jointly developed the proprietary RFCC technology through an alliance with Axens and Total that began in the early 1990s. This award brings the number of licensees of its FCC related technologies to 42 around the world.
