Worley Parsons Ltd has been commissioned as the project management contractor on behalf of ERC for the construction program. Maire Tecnimont: Hydrogen Production Unit, Sulphur Recovery Units, Tail Gas Treatment unit, Amine Processing Unit The Egyptian Refining Company (ERC) is building a state-of-the-art US$ 3 billion greenfield second-stage oil refinery in the Greater Cairo Area, which will produce over 4 million tons of refined products, including over 2 million tons of EURO V diesel, the cleanest fuel of its type in the world. ERC’s production will be sold to the Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation (EGPC) under a 25-year offtake agreement at international prices. Regulatory and environmental approvals for the project have been obtained and ERC has signed a lump-sum turnkey contract with GS Engineering & Construction / Mitsui & Co. The facility is expected to be fully operational by the end of 2015. The main part of the debt is expected to come from JBIC and Nexi with 40%. Kexim will provide 30% and the rest will come from the European Investment Bank (EIB) and African Development Bank (AfDB).
