(http://www.augustenergy.biz/, July 29, Wednesday) --- Article from EnergyAsia...

(http://www.energyasia.com/) - Singapore-listed Rotary Engineering Limited said it has signed two contracts totalling S$36 million with Neste Oil Singapore Pte Ltd for work on the Finland company’s S$1.2 billion biodiesel plant in Tuas in Singapore.

The contracts for the “NExBTL” renewable diesel plant relate to electrical and instrumentation works as well as mechanical, piping, painting and steel structures works. For competitive reasons, Rotary said it would not provide a breakdown of contract values.

Rotary will be working with Technip Singapore Pte Ltd, the subsidiary of the French engineering firm appointed to manage all construction contracts on behalf of Neste Oil.

For the latest deals, Rotary will mobilise a mechanical and piping team to complete the erection of steel structures, underground piping and painting works by the next March.

Electrical and instrumentation installations are expected to start later this year and are scheduled for completion in mid-2010.

The work scope covers:

• Electrical installation works, which include grounding and lightning systeminstallation, substations installation and cables installations and connections;
• Instrument installation works such as control room installation and connection works, cable-laying and junction box erection and connection, field instrument erection and connection and telecommunication system erection.

This is Rotary’s second contract award from Neste. Last September, it secured a S$38 million engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract to build 11 storage tanks for the same plant. Neste Oil is a leading oil refining and marketing company focused on producing lower-emission, high-quality clean fuels.

When completed next year, Neste Oil’s 800,000-tonne-per-year plant will be the word’s largest facility producing diesel fuel from renewable feedstocks. The plant will use Neste’s proprietary NExBTL technology to produce a premium-quality renewable diesel fuel.

Chia Kim Piow, Rotary’s chairman and managing director said:“It is always a pleasure when a client returns with repeat business. My team and I are encouraged by the client’s support and confidence. It spurs us on to work harder and do better in order to deliver a final product that will exceed expectations.”

Rotary’s other eco-friendly ventures include its 2006 joint-venture with Italy’s Sofinter SpA Group in Itro Pte Ltd to build, operate and jointly-own an isotherm plant that treats hydrocarbon industrial waste products to generate steam energy to support the needs of process plants. Rotary also built a biodiesel storage facility for Nexsol (Singapore) Pte Ltd.
