Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. has announced that it has received a contract from PETRONAS to develop a basic engineering package for three sulfur recovery units (SRUs).
PETRONAS is the state-owned oil company of Malaysia. The basic engineering services will be provided from Jacobs’ Leiden office in The Netherlands.
Jacobs is licensing its proprietary SUPERCLAUS® technology to PETRONAS for this project.

Jacobs is licensing its proprietary SUPERCLAUS® technology to PETRONAS for this project.
The technology offers reliability, sulfur emissions reduction and simple continuous operation. PETRONAS’ new, three-train sulfur plant is part of the Refinery and Petrochemical Integrated Development (RAPID) Project site in the state of Johor, Malaysia. There are now over 200 licensed SUPERCLAUS units in operation worldwide. Jacobs introduced the SUPERCLAUS technology in 1985.
Through RAPID, PETRONAS is establishing an optimally configured, integrated refinery and petrochemical complex that focuses on production of high, value-added petrochemicals. This involves building a refinery to supply naphtha and to produce gasoline and diesel that meet European clean fuels specifications. The petrochemical complex is designed and developed to produce ethylene and olefins that are used in downstream plants to produce petrochemical derivatives.
