Two units of Dresser Inc. the Addison, Texas-based energy equipment and services company, have won bids to supply valves to two new Brazilian process plants. Dresser Consolidated, a brand of Dresser Inc., won the contract from the Brazilian consortium Conpar, formed by engineering and construction companies Odebrecht, UTC and ITS, for the supply of 240 relief and safety valves. These instruments will be installed in the new units of the gasoline refinery Presidente Getúlio Vargas Repar, located in Araucária, Brazil. Another Dresser win, by the Dresser Masoneilan unit, was in partnership with Yokogawa South America. The partners will supply Braskem, the Sao Paulo-based petrochemical company, in a contract that includes 160 control valves and 90 relief and safety valves for use in the world’s first “green” ethylene plant. With USD 200 million worth of investments, Braskem’s green polyethylene plant will have a production capacity of 200 thousand tns/yr of ethylene and polyethylene from sugar cane. The unit will be installed in the petrochemical plant, in Rio Grande do Sul state, next to Plant 2 of Petrochemical Basic of Braskem, which will start operations in early 2011.
