CB&I has been awarded a contract by Petronas for licensing and engineering design work on five petrochemicals units in Johor, Malaysia.

The project is part of the new Petronas refinery and petrochemicals integrated development (RAPID) project in Johor.

“CB&I is excited to be working with PETRONAS on this important project by providing several key technologies from our petrochemicals portfolio,” said Daniel McCarthy, president of CB&I’s Lummus Technology.

“The RAPID project will allow PETRONAS to expand its products portfolio, capitalizing on the demand for higher value products in the region.”

Lummus Technology said it will provide technology for a world-scale steam cracker complex comprising ethylene, butadiene, benzene, isobutylene and MTBE units.
