KUALA LUMPUR: Muhibbah Engineering Bhd’s joint venture has secured a RM949.60mil contract from Petroliam Nasional Bhd for part of the RAPID project in Pengerang, Johor.
It said on Thursday the JV comprising of its unit Muhibbah Engineering (M) Bhd and partner VA Tech Wabag Ltd was awarded the contract for the design for the re-feed and engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning of the effluent treatment plant.
“The total contract price is approximately RM949.6mil,” it said.
The effluent treatment plant will form part of the RAPID complex at Pengerang.
The RAPID project consists of a world scale integrated site which includes refining activities and petrochemicals production.
The refinery will have a capacity of 300,000 barrels per day (bpd), while the steam cracker’s combined annual production is anticipated to be more than 3 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) of ethylene, propylene and C4-C6 olefins products.
Muhibbah said products from the refinery and steam cracker will be the feedstock to produce premium differentiated specialty petrochemical products.
To recap, RAPID is Petronas’ largest green-field downstream undertaking in Malaysia, and along with its six major associated facilities, forms the Pengerang Integrated Complex (PIC).
The associated facilities are the Pengerang co-generation plant, LNG re-gasification terminal, air separation unit, raw water supply project, the liquid bulk terminal and the central and shared utilities and facilities.
The Integrated ETP is to reduce the pollution in the aqueous effluents of the RAPID Complex to below the regulatory discharge limits.
