ICA Fluor Wins $622m Pemex Contracts

ICA Fluor said it will support two low-sulphur petrol projects in Mexico for Pemex Refining under EPC contracts worth $622m.

ICA Fluor will be responsible for test and start-up including installation of the catalytic petrol desulphurisation plants, the amine regeneration units, offsites, utilities and integration for Pemex’s existing Gral Lázaro Cárdenas del Río Refinery and the Antonio Dovali Jaime Refinery.

Both the refinery projects include 25,000bpd catalytic distillation trains, associated amine regeneration units, flare and all ancillary facilities.

The project is a part of Pemex’s clean fuels programme, which will develop and modernise the refineries to increase Mexico’s production of ultra low-sulphur petrol to meet environmental standards.

ICA Fluor, a joint venture between Empresas ICA and Fluor, will complete the project in mid-2013.
