Lummus wins Sasref work
US-based ABB Lummus Global has been selected for the contract to design and build an ultra-low sulphur diesel complex at the Jubail-based Saudi Aramco Shell Refinery Company (Sasref) refinery. Contract signing is due soon (MEED 25:8:06).
ABB Lummus beat off competition from the US' Jacobs Engineering to win the front-end engineering and design (FEED)-cum-engineering, procurement and construction contract. The scope of works on the estimated $200 million-300 million project covers the construction of a diesel hydrocracker, hydrogen processing unit, sulphur recovery and sour water treatment units, reactors, separators and related facilities.
The FEED element is expected to take six-12 months, after which a tender will be issued for the construction package. Sasref's original plan was to include a new aromatics complex as part of the scheme, but this is now understood to have been dropped pending further studies (MEED 23:6:06).
Sasref, a 50:50 joint venture of Saudi Aramco and the Royal Dutch/Shell Group, operates the 305,000-barrel-a-day refinery, which receives Arabian light crude from Aramco.
