Fluor Corporation (NYSE: FLR) was awarded a contract by Shaanxi
Non-Ferrous Tian Hong REC Silicon Materials Co., Ltd., (TianREC) to
provide detailed design services and technical support for its new
polysilicon plant to be located in Yulin, Shaanxi Province, China. Fluor
will book the contract for an undisclosed value in the first quarter of
2015.
“This project award reconfirms Fluor’s global leadership in the
engineering, procurement and construction of polysilicon and silane gas
processing plants and our ongoing positive capital project experience
and relationship with REC Silicon,” said Ken
Choudhary, president of Fluor’s Energy & Chemicals business in the
Asia Pacific region. “We look forward to supporting TianREC on this
world-class, state-of-the-art facility.”
The new plant, which will have an anticipated total investment of more
than $1 billion, will use REC Silicon's next generation fluidized bed
reactor technology. It is expected to have a capacity to produce 18,000
metric tons of granular polysilicon, an additional 1,000 metric tons of
Siemens polysilicon and 500 metric tons of silane gas loading.
The award of the detailed design and technical support contract follows
Fluor’s successful completion of the front-end engineering and design
package project, and it builds upon the successful completion of several
previous projects for REC Silicon.
Fluor’s Shanghai office will execute the project with support from
Fluor’s offices in Aliso Viejo, Calif. and New Delhi. The Shanghai
office has successfully completed other recent polysilicon projects in
China.
TianREC is a joint venture between Shaanxi Non-Ferrous Tian Hong New
Energy Co., Ltd., and REC Silicon Inc.
