Fluor Corporation has recently been awarded a contract by Empresa Nacional del Petróleo (ENAP) for the engineering, procurement and construction of a new process unit at its Biobío refinery in Chile. Fluor will perform the engineering, procurement and construction services to install a new flue gas steam generator, a wet gas scrubber and purge treatment unit to treat residual gas generated in the refineryâs fluid catalytic cracker that will reduce air emissions. Fluor is also responsible for interconnections between the new and existing unit, which will occur during a schedule-driven 2017 turnaround.
âWe leveraged our extensive Chilean experience, strong relationships with local contractors and our global refining expertise to develop the construction-driven execution plan that meets the clientâs requirements,â? said Mark Fields, president of Fluorâs Energy & Chemicals business in the Americas.
âWhile Fluor has been active in Chile for more than 35 years, this project is significant for us as it marks our entry into the oil and gas market in Chile,â? said Andrés Beran, Fluorâs vice president of sales for Latin America. âWe look forward to making this project the first of many to be executed for ENAP in the coming years.â?
