CB&I is the latest international engineering contractor to join a US$74 billion refinery and petrochemicals complex construction project that recently got underway on northern China’s largest island, Changxing Island, near the city of Dalian.

CB&I said its patented technology would be used for the “engineering design of a grassroots propane and butane dehydrogenation unit” for the Hengli Petrochemical Refinery Co. Ltd. complex on Changxing. The unit will be “the largest single-train dehydrogenation plant in the world,” CB&I said.

The unit will be included in a 10-square-kilometer, 6,000-worker complex that Hengli says will take 2.5 years to build. Plans call for building several petrochemical production facilities and a ship terminal.

Other international contractors hired by Hengli include BP, Honeywell UOP, Chevron and Degremont. The refinery portion of the project got a green light from the government of Liaoning Province in September.
