Foster Wheeler has been awarded an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract by ExxonMobil Petroleum for a refinery upgrade in Belgium.
The scope of the company’s work is expected to be completed in December 2016 for the Antwerp Northwest Europe Resid Upgrade Project.
The Antwerp Refinery has a processing capacity of 13.5million tonnes per year and receives raw material through the RAPL (Rotterdam-Antwerp Pipeline).
Robert Penno, chief executive officer, said: “After the successful completion by Foster Wheeler of the front-end engineering design for this project and for the new delayed coking unit that will be built at the same facility, we are very pleased to have won this significant EPC contract for this challenging project.
“We look forward to providing ExxonMobil with our best experience and expertise, and adding another safe and successful project to our long track record with ExxonMobil.”
The global engineering and construction company and power equipment supplier delivers facilities and equipment and employs 13,000 staff.
