The Shaw Group has been awarded contracts to provide a process design package and technology license for the addition of a deep catalytic cracking unit to a refinery in Rayong, Thailand, the company announced today. The addition of the DCC unit will increase the refinery’s output by 30,000 barrels per day. It currently churns out about 215,000 barrels daily. The value of the contracts was not disclosed. Shaw is the exclusive licensed provider of DCC technology outside of China, and together with the technology’s developer—China’s SINOPEC Research Institute of Petroleum Processing—has licensed a total of 16 DCC units. The first DCC complex designed and engineered by Shaw was commissioned in 1997 for the same refinery in Thailand as the one named in the contracts announced today.
