Total has selected Técnicas Reunidas for the engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning of a new Gasoil Hydrodesulphurization Unit (HDS) for its Normandy Refinery. This contract has been awarded under the EPC Lump Sum Turn Key model and it is worth around € 100 million.

The Unit, with a design capacity of 3.840 t/d, is designed to produce a desulphurized diesel with just 8ppm weight sulphur, and will be in operation in 2013.

This unit is a main part of the ambitious Total´s Normandy Refinery RN 2012 Project, consisting in adapting the Refinery to the future market conditions. The project is committed to maintaining a significant share of local employment.

The HDS project is a grass roots project to be developed within the refinery limits. The site constrains of a refinery in operation have been fully taken into consideration.

TR has a large experience in hydrodesulphurization international projects with more than 30 worldwide references and currently 7 units under construction, including one in Saudi Arabia for Total/Saudi Aramco.

This award reflects the trust Total shows in TR capabilities and the competitiveness of TR in the challenging west European refining market.

Total is one of the largest publicly-traded integrated international oil and gas company and a world-class chemicals manufacturer. Total operates in more than 130 countries and has 93.000 employees.

TR is one of the leading international engineering and construction companies in oil and gas development, refining and petrochemical and power generation projects.
