French engineering and technology company Technip Energies has been awarded a contract to upgrade sulfur recovery facilities at Aramco’s Riyadh Refinery as part of its long-term agreement with Aramco.
This contract covers the implementation of three new tail gas treatment (TGT) units, improving the performance of the existing three sulfur recovery units (SRU) to comply with more stringent regulations for sulfur dioxide emissions, with recovery efficiency at more than 99.9%.
The project will be executed locally, leveraging Saudi economic resources and infrastructure, Technip Energies said.
The existing sulfur recovery units in the Riyadh refinery were designed and built by Technip Energies in the early 2000s.
Bhaskar Patel, SVP of sustainable fuels, chemicals and circularity at Technip Energies, commented: “We are pleased to be entrusted by Aramco to work on the upgrading program of their refinery in Riyadh. By leveraging our long-standing relationship, which has been in place since the mid-1990s, we are committed to make this project another success, while utilizing local resources and supply chain.”
Last week, ADNOC awarded an early engineering and procurement works contract worth $80 million for the onshore facilities of the Hail and Ghasha development project to a JV composed of Technip Energies, Tecnimont,and Samsung Engineering.
