Filtration and flow control solutions company Mott Corporation announced a new eight-figure agreement with South Korean refiner S-OIL, an Aramco affiliate. Under the deal, Mott and its Korean partner DL E&C will provide filtration technology for S-OIL’s $7 billion Shaheen project in Ulsan, South Korea.
“This new partnership advances our strategy to apply our world class filtration and flow control technology to a variety of end markets,” said Patrick Hill, VP of Process Systems, Americas, at Mott. “We’re proud to partner with DL E&C to deliver this custom-engineered filtration system and play a part in the ambitious Shaheen project.”
S-OIL's Shaheen project, announced in November 2022, is being developed as part of Aramco's regional crude to chemicals strategy. Shaheen is expected to be one of the largest integrated steam crackers in the world, and the project will produce chemicals including ethylene.
Mott said its advanced filter system removes fine particulates present in feeder streams for chemical conversion processes. The system is designed to run fully automated, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week without shutdown, the company added.
“Mott’s world-class filtration products will help enable the success of our Shaheen project, which will be one of the largest refinery-integrated steam crackers in the world,” S-OIL said.
“We appreciate this innovative partnership with Mott as we embark on this important project for S-OIL,” said C.S. Kim, Vice President (Plant), Procurement at DL E&C. “Mott is uniquely capable of delivering the advanced filtration technology required for the Shaheen project.”
The announcement follows Mott’s acquisitions of Italian filtration supplier ASCO Filtri and Michigan-based water reclamation innovator Digested Organics.
