The company’s scope of work includes the license and basic engineering of the ethylene plant and pyrolysis gasoline hydrogenation unit. It also includes detailed engineering and material supply of SRT® (Short Residence Time) pyrolysis heaters.

The plant will use CB&I’s latest generation ethylene technology for the production of polymer grade ethylene, propylene and other byproducts, with a nameplate capacity of 500 000 tpy of ethylene and 250 000 tpy of propylene.

"CB&I looks forward to providing the technology license and heater supply to this ethylene plant in Thailand," said Daniel M. McCarthy, CB&I's Executive Vice President of Technology. "This award is the third CB&I licensed ethylene plant for PTTGC and further expands our presence in Asia."
