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 />

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 />
12
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 />
15
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 />
