Foster Wheeler Iberia, was awarded a contract by BP for the thermal design, engineering, procurement and material supply of a 43.5 megawatt double-fired Terrace-Wall delayed coker heater for a new delayed coker to be built at BP's Castellon Refinery in Spain.

The Foster Wheeler Terrace-Wall delayed coker heater is an integral component of the Foster Wheeler Selective Yield Delayed Coking process technology, which was selected by BP for the new coker.
Foster Wheeler completed the process design package and front-end engineering design for the new coker, and has also been awarded the detailed engineering, procurement and construction supervision for the new coker under a separately announced contract.
"We are very pleased with this latest award from BP, which confirms our long track record and experience in the design of delayed coker heaters, the heart of the Foster Wheeler delayed coking process," said Jesus Cadenas, managing director, Foster Wheeler Iberia, S.A. "Since 1965, Foster Wheeler Iberia has designed and supplied eleven heaters for the BP Castellon Refinery and has been involved in many of the major projects carried out in this refinery." |
