en.Wedoany.com Reported - Technip Energies (Paris) has signed a contract with Long Son Petrochemicals Co., Ltd. in Vietnam to execute the Long Son Petrochemicals Enhancement (LSPE) project, located on Long Son Island, Vietnam.

The contract covers engineering and procurement services, site support, and the supply of proprietary burners for cracking furnaces. The project will utilize Technip Energies' proprietary ethylene technologies, such as the Ultra Selective Conversion (USC®) furnace and Heat Recovery System (HRS®), to convert the existing steam cracker from naphtha feedstock to ethane feedstock, aiming to enhance selectivity, energy efficiency, and ethylene recovery.

This initiative is designed to optimize feedstock efficiency, reduce costs, lower the carbon footprint, and strengthen resilience against global market volatility by incorporating a significant amount of ethane into the existing naphtha and propane mix. As one of the first such conversion projects globally, it reflects petrochemical producers' focus on feedstock diversification and low-carbon inputs to secure their supply chains.

Steam crackers are a critical part of petrochemical complexes, and enhancing feedstock flexibility can impact the entire value chain. These units convert hydrocarbon feedstocks such as naphtha, LPG, or ethane into base chemicals like ethylene and propylene, which are used to produce everyday items such as plastics, packaging, and textiles.

The new project builds on the long-term collaboration between Technip Energies and Long Son Petrochemicals, following Technip Energies' successful engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) delivery of the complex's cracker between 2018 and 2023.

Stéphane Mespoulhès, Senior Vice President of Ethylene, Polyolefins & Fertilizers at Technip Energies, stated: "We are delighted to be trusted again by Long Son Petrochemicals to contribute to the development of this strategic complex. The new project builds upon the successful delivery of the original cracker and demonstrates how our ethylene technology and execution capabilities help our clients adapt to market changes, enhancing their flexibility and competitiveness."
