SAFETY MINUTE<br />

Safety Milestone at Shell ECC Project<br />

In October 2009, the Shell Ethylene Cracker Complex<br />

(ECC) project in Singapore reached 39 million<br />

construction exposure hours without a lost-time<br />

injury. This achievement surpasses all previous CB&I<br />

safety records.<br />

The project complex is located on reclaimed land<br />

five miles offshore Singapore, causing a unique set of<br />

challenges. More than half the total workforce and<br />

construction materials arrive at the jobsite daily by<br />

boat.<br />

The ECC Project in Singapore is a joint venture<br />

enterprise between Toyo and CB&I to construct<br />

an ethylene production facility for Shell Eastern<br />

Petroleum Limited. This Ethylene Cracker Complex,<br />

part of the Shell Eastern Petrochemicals Complex,<br />

is a world-scale facility that will serve as a crucial<br />

provider of raw materials for Asia’s growing chemical<br />

markets.<br />

To mark this milestone, ECC project management<br />

hosted a commemoration to honor everyone who<br />

made the safety goal possible, both with CB&I and<br />

our contractors.<br />

Safety award for 200,000 work-hours<br />

without a recordable incident.<br />

Lummus Technology assists refiners around the world in developing and assessing new process schemes to address<br />

changing crude oil slates and product specification requirements. These services are performed by the Process Planning<br />

Group in Bloomfield, NJ. The group plans facilities, defines manufacturing economics and assesses technologies for<br />

integrated petroleum refining, petrochemical, chemical, oil and gas and energy complexes.<br />

Unlike consulting companies, Lummus Technology bases process planning on current<br />

cost data derived from actual experience in designing and building plants. Lummus<br />

knows which technologies are most appropriate for each client, and as a CB&I<br />

company, also has EPC expertise, and can realistically define the cost, schedule and<br />

resources required to bring a project to completion, anticipating potential risks.<br />

The three M’s are critical elements in planning a successful project: Materials, Markets<br />

and Money. Lummus Technology’s approach to these elements are briefly highlighted<br />

below.<br />

Materials. The optimum configuration for a project is dependent on the process<br />

configuration, the process technology employed and the definition of support<br />

facilities. Some of the evaluations that go into such an assessment include:<br />

• Plant configuration analysis<br />

• Multiple feedstock cases<br />

• Technology evaluations<br />

• Site analysis and recommendations<br />

In performing the above, Lummus Technology, as a CB&I company, brings to bear a<br />

broad background of experience in designing and building plants assuring up-to-date<br />

cost and schedule data.<br />

Markets. The decision to invest in new or existing process facilities is driven by the<br />

client’s strategic objectives and marketing plans, and the current competitive<br />

environment. Attention is given to:<br />

• Trade relationships<br />

• Availability of resources and the factors of production<br />

• Raw material and product price relationship and trends<br />

• Netback prices<br />

• Analysis of competition<br />

Money. Lummus Technology’s evaluation includes a rigorous analysis of the<br />

economic viability of a project and the availability of real and potential resources.<br />

Our efforts are directed towards:<br />

• Venture analysis<br />

• Risk analysis<br />

• Net benefit<br />

• Value<br />

Lummus Technology wields a full range of analytical tools and data, including:<br />

6<br />

- A refinery Linear Program that simulates all commercially available refining processes and has more than 140 crude oils in its library.<br />

- Specialized computer programs for predicting charge, yield, and utility data for most major refining and petrochemical process units.<br />

- A large and diverse engineering design and construction database, with more than 600 refinery units and 400 petrochemical and chemical units.<br />

- Cost capacity correlations and data for both process units and support facilities.<br />

- Access to major specialized marketing and pricing data services.


How we do it:<br />

1 Kick-off meeting. Typical items covered in the kick-off meeting include:<br />

- Review work plan, database, computer programs, and client data<br />

- Develop process configurations<br />

- Establish plot plans or sites to be studied<br />

- Review proposed schedule and team organization<br />

2 Study and analysis. Each study is unique, but could include the following :<br />

- Market information, economic factors, and product growth rate data on market areas of study<br />

- Process simulations<br />

- Linear program studies<br />

- Construction schedule for the cases being studied<br />

- Financing plan for the venture<br />

3 Interim review. Lummus Technology conducts a preliminary screening to develop a short list of cases for detailed<br />

analysis. For the screening work, the amount of effort expended on each case is reduced by the following limitations:<br />

- Curve-type costing is substituted for equipment factored costing<br />

- Off-site costs are based on curves and configuration complexity<br />

- Feeds are limited to one or two major cases<br />

- Financing options are limited to one<br />

4 Detailed cost/economic analysis. The detailed cost/economic analysis<br />

examines the selected cases in detail, including the following:<br />

- Equipment-factored cost estimates for process units<br />

- Utility plant capacities and storage capacities using cost/capacity curves<br />

- Definition of other off-site facilities based on typical ratios adjusted by the<br />

observations made at the site<br />

- Consideration of a wide list of project financing options in the cash flow<br />

projections<br />

5 Final report. The above information is organized into a final report, which<br />

includes an executive summary, process volume, cost volume, and<br />

financial volume. The report is reviewed with the client and after final<br />

approval, the report is formally issued.<br />

MARKET WATCH: Emission Control<br />

Refineries, petrochemical plants and bulk liquid storage terminals around the world that handle crude<br />

oil and refined products are facing increasingly stringent emission regulations for aboveground storage<br />

tanks. CB&I has been a leader in the development of emission control technology and equipment since<br />

our initial development of the first successful floating-roof storage tank in 1923.<br />

Minimum emission control requirements depend on a number of factors including the material stored,<br />

when the tank was constructed or modified, tank capacity, the vapor pressure of the stored material,<br />

and the location of the facility. CB&I can help in selecting the most cost-effective emission control<br />

solution for either a new facility or improvement of an existing facility.<br />

CB&I offers a wide range of options to help tank owners and operators meet specific emission control<br />

requirements. These options range from add-on construction features for rim seals and roof fittings,<br />

to concepts where all atmospheric emissions are collected and treated, resulting in a Zero Emission<br />

Storage Tank (ZEST) facility.<br />

This table summarizes some of the options that may be considered for a specific storage facility.<br />

With more than 30,000 tanks built in more than 100 countries, CB&I has accumulated more atmospheric<br />

storage tank design and construction experience than any other organization in the world.<br />

Project Updates: <strong>LNG</strong> <strong>Regasification</strong> <strong>Terminal</strong><br />

<strong>Quintero</strong> <strong>Bay</strong>, <strong>Chile</strong><br />

One hundred percent of <strong>Chile</strong>an gas<br />

came from Argentina – until now.<br />

Gas demand all over South America<br />

is growing rapidly, and gas producers<br />

in this region have not kept up with<br />

demand. This <strong>LNG</strong> import terminal,<br />

located in <strong>Quintero</strong> <strong>Bay</strong>, <strong>Chile</strong>, will<br />

supply 40% of the country’s natural<br />

gas supply and will positively impact<br />

the <strong>Chile</strong>an economy. CB&I’s contract is<br />

for the engineering, procurement and<br />

construction of two 160,000 cubic meter<br />

full-containment <strong>LNG</strong> tanks with 205<br />

MTPA sendout capacity, and complete<br />

ship unloading facilities. CB&I’s scope<br />

also includes marine works, with a 1.7<br />

kilometer long jetty extending into the<br />

bay.<br />

CB&I’s craft labor peaked at 4,500,<br />

including thousands of local workers<br />

who were provided rigorous training to<br />

prepare them for this project-the first of its<br />

kind in <strong>Chile</strong>. Beginning in January 2009,<br />

CB&I has achieved 6 percent construction<br />

completion each month, and is on track<br />

to complete the first tank in the second<br />

quarter of 2010, and the second tank in<br />

the third quarter of 2010. CB&I has a long<br />

history of completing successful projects in<br />

<strong>Chile</strong>, where the company has maintained<br />

a presence since 1924.<br />

In order to meet client needs, this<br />

project required a small 10,000 cubic<br />

meters “early gas tank,” which has been<br />

functional since July 2009, until the<br />

larger, full-containment tanks are ready<br />

in mid-2010. Because the early gas tank is<br />

only large enough for approximately one<br />

day of production, an <strong>LNG</strong> ship will be<br />

docked at the unloading platform while<br />

the large tanks are completed.<br />

Exciting News:<br />

July 31, 2009: First gas export into the <strong>Chile</strong>an natural gas<br />

distribution system.<br />

This fast-track project has multiple work fronts that are<br />

progressing concurrently: on the islands, at the jetty, and<br />

at the shoreline.<br />

Project Updates: 36 Acre Tank Farm<br />

Seaport Canaveral, Florida USA<br />

This project represents the single largest<br />

investment in Port Canaveral history: 24<br />

storage tanks for a new fuel terminal. CB&I<br />

was chosen by Seaport Canaveral LLC to<br />

engineer, fabricate and construct this 36-acre<br />

tank farm, which will hold 2.8 million barrels<br />

of petroleum products, including gasoline,<br />

diesel, and jet fuel (see chart below).<br />

Central Florida’s population has been growing<br />

at rates between 2 and 5%, which has<br />

increased the need for transportation fuels<br />

for tourism and coastal watercraft activities.<br />

The threat of hurricanes has also increased<br />

the need for fuel storage in this area to<br />

provide a backup supply of fuel to minimize<br />

the impact of natural disasters. The tank farm<br />

is conveniently located in the northern part<br />

of Port Canaveral, at the intersection of major<br />

transportation arteries to reduce transport-toend-market<br />

costs.<br />

Tank construction was completed in August<br />

2009, five months ahead of schedule, despite<br />

two hurricanes that disrupted field operations<br />

during initial construction.<br />

Project Updates: HDS Plant<br />

Desulfurization Unit Up and Running<br />

Gdansk, Poland<br />

Chevron Lummus Global (CLG) is the technology<br />

licensor for this diesel Gas Oil Desulfurization<br />

Unit, owned by Grupa LOTOS S.A. This unit has a<br />

2.3 million metric tons per annum capacity and<br />

produces desulfurized diesel with less than 10 parts<br />

per million of sulfur, while also providing a cloud<br />

point improvement of 12 degrees Celsius. The unit<br />

has exhibited stable operation, producing ultra-low<br />

sulfur diesel.<br />

Upon CLG completing the basic engineering design<br />

of the unit, the detailed engineering, procurement<br />

and construction contract was awarded in October<br />

of 2006 and the plant was ready for start-up in May<br />

2009. There were zero lost-time incidents on this<br />

project with more than one million hours worked.<br />

Chevron Lummus Global (CLG) is a 50/50 joint<br />

venture between Chevron and Lummus Technology.<br />

CLG provides licensed technology and catalysts<br />

for hydrocracking, residuum upgrading, lube<br />

hydrofinishing/dewaxing, distillate hydrotreating, and<br />

gas oil hydrotreating. Some of the technologies they<br />

offer include:<br />

• ISOCRACKING<br />

• RDS/VRDS<br />

• OCR<br />

• ISODEWAXING<br />

• ISOFINISHING<br />

• LC-FINING<br />

The plant was built on a very tight plot, which made<br />

erecting some of the equipment challenging, especially<br />

this 700-ton reactor.<br />

Project Updates: ADVANCED Petrochemical Complex<br />

Al-Jubail, Saudi Arabia<br />

CB&I successfully completed a polypropylene<br />

plant in Al-Jubail, Saudi Arabia for ADVANCED<br />

Petrochemical Company, a private<br />

petrochemical company. The plant has a<br />

capacity of 455,000 metric tons per annum and<br />

is currently operating above the nameplate<br />

capacity. Safety was paramount in all phases of<br />

the project, which resulted in 13.5 million workhours<br />

without a lost-time incident. CB&I served<br />

as the overall project management contractor,<br />

completing the fast-track project in 32 months.<br />

The plant utilizes Lummus Technology’s<br />

CATOFIN® dehydrogenation technology and<br />

Novolen® advanced gas-phase polypropylene<br />

technology, licensed by Lummus Novolen<br />

Technology. The Novolen unit has been<br />

designed for the production of both standard<br />

and specialty applications to enable ADVANCED<br />

Petrochemical Company to serve local and<br />

export markets.<br />

Project highlights:<br />

- 630 pieces of equipment<br />

- 1,525-ton propylene splitter column<br />

- 500,000 diameter inches of pipe welding<br />

- 1.1 million meters of electrical and instrument cables and wires<br />

- 15 buildings<br />

- 500 tons of refractory brick inside the CATOFIN reactors<br />

- 7,500 field instruments<br />

Safety was paramount in all phases of<br />

the project, which resulted in 13.5 million<br />

work-hours without a lost-time incident.<br />

Lummus Technology has exclusive worldwide<br />

licensing rights to the CATOFIN technology,<br />

which features high per pass conversion, high<br />

catalyst selectivity, and fixed bed reactors. The<br />

fixed bed reactors are used with a catalyst and<br />

operating conditions that optimize the complex<br />

relationship among conversion, selectivity, and<br />

energy consumption. On-stream efficiencies<br />

of 98+%, excluding turnarounds of 2-3 weeks<br />

every two years for catalyst change, are routinely<br />

achieved.<br />

16


Fluid<br />

Catalytic<br />

Cracking<br />

Lummus Technology offers a proven, state-of-the-art FCC<br />

technology for converting gasoils and resids to lighter,<br />

higher-value products. This process achieves high conversion<br />

and selectivity to light products, allowing refiners to meet<br />

the most rigorous challenges of producing today’s clean fuels<br />

and petrochemicals. The process converts a wide range of<br />

feedstocks, from hydrotreated and unhydrotreated gasoils<br />

to resids, and the flexibility allows conversion and selectivity<br />

to vary from maximum distillate production at one extreme,<br />

to maximum propylene production at the other. This FCC<br />

technology can be applied fully in grassroots units or partially<br />

in the revamp of existing units.<br />

work hours<br />

When it comes to safety...<br />

Every Hour Counts<br />

CB&I worked nearly 108 million hours in 2009 in<br />

some of the world’s most challenging locations, with<br />

one of the lowest LTI rates in our industry.<br />

This means we worked almost 12 million hours for<br />

every lost-time incident recorded. At this rate, an<br />

employee could work about 6,000 years<br />

without a lost-time injury.<br />

Safety is a core value at CB&I.<br />

Every Hour. Every Year.<br />
