India Oil Corporation Limited has chosen McDermott to provide project management consulting services for the Maleic Anhydride (MAH) unit at the Panipat Refinery and Petrochemical Complex, which is situated 62 miles from New Delhi.
Project management and consulting services are included in McDermott’s scope of work for the unit, along with front-end engineering design (FEED), reviews of engineering activities, services for construction supervision, assistance with startup, pre-commissioning, commissioning, performance guarantee test runs, and project closure.
“McDermott has a long-standing relationship with IOCL and is currently executing three large-scale projects at their Barauni and Haldia refineries,” said Vaseem Khan, McDermott’s Senior Vice President, Onshore. “Our unrivaled project management and execution capabilities, combined with our decades of experience in India, uniquely position us to successfully execute this project.”
This is India’s first mega-scale MAH plant to manufacture chemical products. MAH is used to make specialty products like polyester resins, surface coating plasticizers, agrochemicals and lubricant additives.
