Technip Energies N.V. (Paris, France; www.ten.com) has been awarded contracts by Petkim, a subsidiary of SOCAR, in connection with the development of a proposed integrated petrochemical complex in Aliağa, Türkiye.
The contracts include the license for a world-scale mixed-feed ethylene cracking unit, as well as the integrated Process Design Package (PDP) and Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) services for the overall complex.
The FEED scope covers the steam cracker designed with an ethylene production capacity of approximately 1,200 KTA1 and a propylene production capacity of 550 KTA, together with an 850 KTA HDPE/LLDPE complex (two 425 KTA trains) and a 550 KTA polypropylene plant integrated with the new cracker.
The awarded scope covers the licensing, PDP and FEED phases of the proposed project and constitutes an important step in its technical development prior to any Final Investment Decision (FID) by PETKIM.
The planned integrated petrochemical complex is intended to produce key petrochemical building blocks used to manufacture a wide range of everyday products, including packaging materials, consumer goods, automotive components and industrial applications.
Mespoulhes, Senior Vice President Ethylene and Polyolefins at Technip Energies, commented: “We are pleased to support Petkim at this important stage in the development of its integrated petrochemical complex. By combining our ethylene technology with our engineering capabilities, we will support Petkim through the PDP and FEED phases as the project progresses through its technical development. This early engagement will help establish the technical foundations for an efficient, flexible and competitive project.”
