Location: Panipat, Panipat, Haryana, India
Client: IOCL
Capacity: 2x300,000 t/y polypropylene plants (PP)
Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL), the leading public player in the Indian oil market and the country’s largest company in terms of sales, is implementing a world-scale naphtha cracker and downstream petrochemicals complex costing over US$3.2 billion at Panipat, in the state of Haryana.
Within the complex, Tecnimont has been awarded a contract worth approximately US$350 million for the implementation of two new PP plants.
The lump-sum turnkey project is the largest contract awarded to an Italian engineering company in India. It covers the engineering, procurement, construction and commissioningdescription (EPCC)key words of the units.

Location: Kakinada, India.
Client: Nagarjuna Fertilizers & Chemicals Limited
Capacity: 450 MTPD
The Carbon Dioxide Recovery Unit of NFCL is installed to capture 450 metric tons per day (MTPD) of CO2. The plant was constructed by Tecnimont ICB Pvt. Ltd. (TICB), a leading Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) company in India. Technology was licensed by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI). The CO2 is recovered from flue gas emitted during the Ammonia production process and the captured CO2 serves as feedstock for urea Production. The scope of MHI was for basic know-how and licensing while TICB was vested with Engineering, Procurement and Construction on Turnkey Lumpsum.
TICB began its stint in Carbon Capture with two of “first of its kind” CO2 Recovery contracts on Lumpsum EPC awarded by IFFCO, an Indian Fertilizer major, in year 2005 and since then TICB has commissioned three such CDR projects in India. A fourth CDR plant is in an advanced construction for Gulf Petrochemical Industries Co (GPIC) in Bahrain.
