Technip Energies, as leader of a consortium with Dialog E&C Sdn. Bhd., has been awarded an Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Commissioning (EPCC) contract by PETRONAS Chemicals Fertiliser Kedah Sdn. Bhd., (PC FK), a wholly-owned subsidiary of PETRONAS Chemicals Group Berhad (PCG), for a new melamine plant to be integrated into their existing complex in Gurun, Kedah, Malaysia.

The EPCC contract follows the successful completion of the Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) by Technip Energies. The project includes a 60 000 tpy greenfield melamine plant, utilising CASALE Low Energy Melamine (LEM™) technology, and associated interconnections with the existing urea plant where the CO₂ generated in the melamine production process will be recycled. This serves to minimise the CO₂ footprint of this new asset.

Technip Energies is responsible for overall project management, engineering, procurement and commissioning, whereas Dialog E&C is in charge of construction and pre-commissioning.

Marco Villa, COO of Technip Energies, stated: “We are honored to be entrusted by PCG to build their first melamine plant, participating in the diversification of their product portfolio. Technip Energies is committed to deliver a high performing, energy efficient and low carbon emission asset making this project another key milestone in our longstanding and successful history in Malaysia and with PETRONAS.”
