French engineering and construction services company Technip has been awarded a contract worth approximately €67 million by PKN Orlen S.A. for the construction of a new diesel oil hydrodesulphurization unit in its refinery in Plock, in the center of Poland.

Hydrodesulphurization is a catalytic refining technology consisting in extracting sulphur contained in a petroleum product either to protect downstream unit catalysts or to maintain sulphur content at the level prescribed by the European norm intended to reduce transportation-related air pollution.

Technip’s operations and engineering center in Rome, Italy, will execute the project. The construction of the unit is scheduled to be completed in June 2009.

Note by folc.ca: The story would have been much more informative if it had addressed how much waste sulphur will be produced by the process and what will be done with that waste sulphur.
That issue will greatly interest anyone wishing to make a living from selling sulphur produced by large desulpurization projects.
