Fluor Corporation has been awarded a contract by The Dow Chemical Company to execute a significant portion of its U.S. Gulf Coast investments. Fluor’s scope includes the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) of a propane dehydrogenation unit, an ethane cracker, and associated power, utilities and infrastructure facility upgrades to support each unit.
“Fluor has had a strong and long-standing relationship with Dow, supporting some of the industry’s most challenging and innovative projects,” said president of Fluor’s Energy & Chemicals Group, Peter Oosterveer. “This is a significant endeavor by Dow to process hydrocarbons from the domestic shale formations, and we are pleased to continue our support of their efforts.”
