Egypt’s Carbon Holdings has signed a contract with US-based Bechtel for the $10.9 billion Tahrir Petrochemical Complex, MEED reported, citing unnamed industry sources.

 

The contract, signed on June 30, will cover project management consultancy (PMC) for Egypt’s largest-ever petrochemical project.

 

Four separate engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contracts were also signed at the ceremony.

 

The contracts were signed by Bechtel, Germany’s Linde, Italy’s Maire Tecnimont, the local company Hassan Allam Construction, and Greece’s Archirodon.

 

The Tahrir Petrochemical Complex includes the construction of a 1.5 million tonne-a-year (t/y) ethylene cracker and a polyethylene facility with a capacity of nearly 1.4 million t/y.

 

Other major products will include propylene, polypropylene, hexene, butadiene, benzene and styrene. When completed it is expected to be the largest naphtha cracker plant in the world.
