Samsung Engineering Co., a leading South Korean industrial plant builder, said
Tuesday that it has won a US$60 million order to build an industrial facility in
Thailand.
The contract reached with the state-run Public Company Ltd
(PTT) calls for Samsung Engineering to build an electricity and steam supply
unit for a gas ethane separation plant (ESP) at Rayong's Map Ta Phut industrial
complex in the eastern part of the country.
Under the deal, the South
Korean company will set up a 25 megawatt gas turbine generator and 105 megawatt
waste heat recovery boiler for the Thai contractor by April 2014.
Samsung Engineering said that the latest deal comes after it completed two ESP
plants for PTT in 2010.
The latest contract will likely help the
company make headway in other industrial projects in the Southeast Asian country
down the road, the company's aide said.
