- The plant will produce 300,000 metric tons of vinyl acetate monomer annually.
- Fluor's Farnborough office is leading the design work.
- The contract value was booked in Q2 2019.
- The front-end work will establish design basis, technology selection, cost, and schedule estimates.
Project Overview
Fluor Corporation has been awarded the front-end engineering and design (FEED) contract for INEOS' new processing plant at the Saltend Chemicals Park in Hull, UK. The plant will produce vinyl acetate monomer (VAM), a crucial component for products such as laminated wind screens, toughened glass, adhesives, films, coatings, and textiles.
Production Capacity
The new facility is designed to have an annual production capacity of 300,000 metric tons of VAM. This significant capacity aims to meet the growing demand for VAM in various industrial applications.
Design and Engineering
The front-end work will establish the design basis and technology selection for the plant, along with associated cost and schedule estimates. Fluor's Farnborough office is leading the design efforts, supported by the company's global experts and input from INEOS engineers.
Contract Details
The contract value, which remains undisclosed, was booked in the second quarter of 2019. Fluor's early involvement in the FEED phase aims to optimize cost and schedule certainty by leveraging their in-house construction-driven expertise.
