Jacobs Engineering Group Inc has received a contract from MEGlobal to provide engineering, procurement and construction management services for a new $ 1 billion monoethylene glycol (MEG) manufacturing facility near Freeport, Texas (USA). MEGlobal, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Equate Petrochemical Company, is the manufacturer and supplier of merchant monoethylene glycol and diethylene glycol (DEG).
“Jacobs’ chemical industry expertise and proven track record were key factors in the selection process. The completion of this complex project will help MEGlobal establish a US Gulf Coast presence and expand its position in the MEG market,” stated Ramesh Ramachandran, president, MEGlobal International FZE of MEGlobal.
This award follows Jacobs’ successful delivery of the facility’s front end engineering package, which incorporates The Dow Chemical Company’s licensed process technology as well as non-process equipment and piping both inside and outside the new facility’s battery limits.
“Our global MEG and local chemical project experience combined with our thorough understanding of the engineering package will contribute significant value and an efficient, high-quality approach to this important project,” said Manuel Junco, senior vice president petroleum and chemicals, Jacobs.
