Wood to drive refinery efficiency on ultra Clean fuel project
Wood has further strengthened its relationship with IRPC by securing a new contract to work on the Ultra Clean Fuel Project on the IRPC Industrial Estate in the Rayong Province of Thailand.
The two-and-a-half-year agreement will see Wood’s team in Thailand deliver project management for a Diesel Hydro Treating Unit and Hydrogen Manufacturing Unit.
The Ultra Clean Fuel Project has been developed in line with the Thai government’s policy to implement Euro V standards by January 2024. The new project seeks to improve refinery efficiency, raise diesel quality to Euro V standard, and reduce fine particle pollution in the air (PM 2.5).
Henry Ling, Vice President for Projects in Thailand at Wood, said: “We are delighted to win this new contract and extend our strong partnership with IRPC on this pioneering project which will have a major positive impact on the Thai economy and create local job opportunities.
“As a follow on from completing Front-End Engineering and Design (FEED) on the project, we look forward to leveraging our extensive client knowledge and project expertise. This new contract is a clear demonstration of IRPC’s confidence in our ability to deliver sustainable and responsible operations safely, efficiently and on time together with quality and cost effectiveness. Our technical expertise will help to achieve the production of cleaner fuels and meet targets.”
Mr. Chawalit Tippawanich, President and Chief Executive Officer of IRPC, said: “The project will help save the environment by reducing the particle pollution, in particular PM 2.5, and enhances IRPC’s long-term competitive advantage in accordance with our corporate strategy. It is a signal of our commitment to environmentally friendly business and energy-efficient collaborations.”
