The Additional Oxygen Capacity Train 17 project comprises the
construction and commissioning of the world’s largest air
separation unit at the Secunda Synfuels Operations site.
Fluor will provide engineering, procurement and construction of
the outside battery limits facilities for this project including
the integration of Train 17’s product streams with other live
operations. These include high pressure oxygen, high pressure and
low pressure nitrogen as well as dry air. Also included in the
scope is the supply of electricity with associated infrastructure
and utilities upgrades to the air separation unit.
“Fluor is bringing its proven integrated solutions approach to
support this project’s advancement,” said Al Collins, president of
Fluor’s Energy & Chemicals business in Europe, Africa and
Middle East. “We are leveraging our extensive knowledge of the
Secunda facility and our innovative global procurement and design
approaches to develop a capital-efficient solution for our
client.”
“This significant award will allow Fluor to demonstrate its
integrated solutions approach and ability to execute lump-sum EPC
projects with excellence,” said Alejandro Escalona, general
manager, Fluor South Africa. “The benefits to both the project and
to Sasol include schedule predictability, cost certainty, reduced
risk, single-point accountability, optimization of commercial
process, improved interfaces and reduced cost for the owner. This
award marks the continuation of a successful relationship that has
spanned more than half a century and includes some of South
Africa’s landmark projects.”
Fluor’s relationship with Sasol dates back to the award of the
first project in Sasolburg in the early 1960s. In 1975, Fluor was
named the managing contractor by Sasol to provide engineering,
procurement and construction management services for Sasol II, and
later for Sasol III, the Secunda oil-from-coal complexes, and has
since supported various other Sasol projects globally.
