Besides offering complete EPsCm services, McDermott will leverage its strategic agreement with Lummus Technology, the licensor of the steam cracker unit.

“Our work with Lummus Technology since the basic design and engineering package phase of the project built our intricate knowledge and understanding of the unit. This project is an excellent example of how, through our strategic agreement with Lummus, we deliver technology solutions through the entire plant lifecycle.”
