Technip was awarded a significant contract(1) comprising technology, engineering services and supply of core equipment for Abu Dhabi Oil Refining Company – Takreer's new coke calcination unit. This new unit is part of the Carbon Black & Delayed Coker project being implemented adjacent to Takreer’s existing Ruwais refinery located in the United Arab Emirates.

The unit will consist of two trains and is designed to process 700,000 tons per annum superior-quality anode green petroleum coke(2) through 2 kilns, thanks to the implementation of world-leading licensed technologies(3).
