The Danish/Indian consortium of Haldor Topsoe andLarsen & Toubro hasbeen formally awarded the$145 million contract to build two new methanol and carbon monoxide units at the Jubail-based formaldehyde complex, planned by Saudi Formaldehyde Chemical Company (SFCCL). The group was selected for the work late last year (MEED 23:12:05).

Under the terms of the 18-month engineering and procurement (E&P) contract, the consortium will supply technology and design and procure equipment for a 700-tonne-a-day methanol plant and a 36,500-tonne-a-year carbon monoxide facility. SFCCL has yet to make a decision on whether to carry out the construction element in-house or tender the work to local civils contractors.
