CB&I has been awarded a contract valued at approximately USD 115M, as part of the scope of the ethylene project, by Ingleside Ethylene, a joint venture between Mexichem and Occidental Chemical Corporation (OxyChem), a subsidiary of Occidental Petroleum Corporation, for the engineering, procurement and construction of an ethylene storage facility in Markham, Texas.
The scope of work consists of the surface facilities – including compression, dehydration, metering and associated pipe fabrication – at the salt cavern storage location. The storage facility is integral with the ethylene cracker where CB&I is providing the license for the ethylene technology, five short residence time (SRT®) cracking heaters and the engineering, procurement and construction of the ethylene cracker in Ingleside, Texas.
“The ethylene cracker is a significant project both for OxyChem and Mexichem, and the award of this project reflects the quality of work CB&I has provided to date”, said Patrick K. Mullen, president of CB&I’s Engineering & Construction operating group.
