Maire Tecnimont’s subsidiary KT – Kinetics Technology has been awarded two contracts by Total Olefins Antwerpen (Total Group) for the implementation of the Refinery Off Gas project (ROG) at Total’s Antwerp refinery in Belgium. The ROG project is aimed at recovering significant volumes of valuable hydrocarbons that are currently burnt as fuel gas and at processing such streams in the existing naphtha cracker. The overall value of the two contracts will be approximately EUR 190M.
The first contract relates to the execution on an EPC basis of the new ROG unit, aimed at processing refinery off gases and recovering hydrocarbons. The new ROG Unit will be fully modularised in order to reduce site construction activities. The second contract relates to the execution on an engineering, procurement and construction assistance (EPCa) basis of the modification to the existing naphtha cracker unit necessary to process the hydrocarbons streams recovered in new ROG and interconnecting works.
Total Raffinaderij Antwerpen is one of Total’s six major integrated platforms globally, and the crucial link in Total’s integrated petrochemical complex in Belgium. This project is part of one of the biggest investment schemes in a European refinery.
