Amec Foster Wins 50 Million Euro contract for hydrogen plant in Italy

Amec Foster Wheeler wins ENI contract in excess of 50 Million Euros for the engineering, procurement and construction of a new steam reforming plant for hydrogen production to be built at its refinery at Gela, Italy.

Building on its long-standing relationship with the supermajor, Amec Foster Wheeler was hired by Eni as part of a major investment programme in Italy to convert its refineries from ‘conventional’ to ‘green’ bio-refineries, and will use our proven Hydrogen technology and our differentiated Terrace Wall fired heater.

Amec Foster Wheeler’s scope of work includes engineering, procurement services and supply of materials and equipment, construction and supervision, pre-commissioning, and training. Amec Foster Wheeler will also support Eni during commissioning, start-up and testing of the new steam reforming plant. The company’s role is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2018.

Amec Foster Wheeler President, Marco Moresco said that this is the first contract that Amec Foster Wheeler has been awarded in the new ‘green refineries’ market, and represents an area in which they see significant growth potential. Amec Foster work for Eni will involve using their proprietary technology to maximise the value of their assets, and they are delighted that it builds on the long-term relationship they have with Eni.
