Taiwan CTCI Corporation Proud to Be Part of LPIC Project, Hydrocarbon Processing’s Top Project Awards Winner

CTCI Corporation is pleased to announce that the Liwa Plastics Industries Complex (LPIC) petrochemical project in Sohar, Oman, in which CTCI Corporation plays a substantial role in engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC), has recently been selected by the prestigious Hydrocarbon Processing magazine as the winner of Top Project Awards 2020. This fantastic recognition demonstrates CTCI Corporation’s professional and reliable capabilities in delivering world-class EPC services.

The US$6.5 billion LPIC project is one of Omani government’s major downstream projects to help diversify the nation’s products portfolio. The complex features 800,000-tpy steam cracker, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and low-linear-density polyethylene (LLDPE) plants, a 300,000-tpy PP plant, MTBE and pygas units and additional processing units. The owner, Oman Oil Refineries and Petroleum Industries (ORPIC), began commissioning activities on the facility in May.

CTCI Corporation and CB&I (which later merged into McDermott International) formed a joint-venture, or CCJV, in 2015 to carry out one of the four EPC projects on the complex, or LPIC EPC1-870 KTA Steam Cracker Project. Scope of work included steam cracking units for the main process, pygas unit, MTBE unit, API tank, sphere tank, bullet tank, desalination, wastewater treatment, spent caustic treatment, and incinerator. Lummus-licensed technologies was used for the ethylene cracking process.
