Amec Foster Wheeler (AMFW) has been awarded a USD 604M engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) fixed price contract for part of a USD 1.85B methanol plant being developed by Yuhuang Chemical Inc (YCI). The first phase of the project, which includes the construction of a 1.8 MT per annum methanol plant, is being built at YCI’s 1,300-acre site in St. James Parish, Louisiana, U.S.
The contract follows the successful completion of an earlier phase of work at the plant awarded to Amec Foster Wheeler in 2015, covering engineering, project management, procurement and early construction services. The deep knowledge of the plant gained over the last two years, coupled with the recent local construction experience of Amec Foster Wheeler’s Power & Process business, gives an advantage for both contractor and client.
