Petrotrin awards Samsung ULSD plant contract
After having received an order for fertilizer plant from Middle East earlier, Samsung Engineering won a refinery unit
project in Central and South America.
Samsung Engineering announced that a $ 220 mm $ Ultra Low Sulphur Diesel Unit plant project order was given by
Petrotrin, (Petroleum Company of Trinidad and Tobago) a national oil company.
The plant will be constructed in Pointe-a-Pierre refinery complex which is located 38 km south to Port-of Spain, the
capital of Trinidad and Tobago. This facility will be producing 40,000 barrel of ultra low sulphur diesel per day and
the sulphur content will be under 8 ppm complying with EURO-V standards.
This project will be executed as a Lump-Sum Turn Key basis that includes all engineering, procurement, construction
and commissioning and its expected completion is in March 2012.
President and CEO Yeon-Joo Jung said, "The importance of environmental policies have been emphasized globally, and
the sulphur content has been enforced downward significantly in gasoline and diesel, and, "Samsung Engineering will
actively react to increasing demands for desulphurization facility that has multi-billion dollars of CAPEX every year
with our differentiated experiences and trusts from our clients."
In 2006, Samsung entered the Caribbean market with NHT/CCR plant awarded from Petrotrin, which is expected to
complete this year end. Through this repeated order, Samsung Engineering can utilize its current resource efficiently
including construction equipments, materials and man power.
Trinidad and Tobago is rich in natural resources including oil and gas.
Samsung Engineering is planning to enlarge its coverage of new orders and business portfolios in central and south
America with its diverse project experiences in Mexico and Venezuela and this ULSD project.
