Fluor Chosen for Conceptual Study for Sasol’s Clean Fuels and Octane Program in South Africa
IRVING, Texas and WOODMEAD, South Africa (July 23, 2018) – Fluor Corporation announced today that it was awarded the front-end loading engineering (FEL) for the Secunda Clean Fuels Baseline Improvement Basket of Projects by Sasol South Africa (Pty) Ltd. Fluor signed the contract in the second quarter of 2018.
“We are pleased to assist Sasol with the start of this important program,” said Tolani Azeez, general manager of Fluor’s Sub-Saharan Africa region. “Our team will use its global expertise in clean fuel refineries and in-depth knowledge of Sasol’s requirements and the Secunda refinery site to develop this initial phase.”
Fluor’s engineering team, based in Secunda and Woodmead, is due to complete the work by July 2019.
Fluor’s relationship with Sasol dates back to the award of the first project in Sasolburg in the early 1960s. In 1975, Fluor was named the managing contractor by Sasol to provide engineering, procurement and construction management services for Sasol II, and later for Sasol III, the Secunda oil-from-coal complexes, and has since supported various other Sasol projects globally. Fluor was also selected as managing contractor for the basic engineering phase of Sasol’s initial clean fuels Turbo project.
