Foster Wheeler designs, engineers and constructs leading-edge processing facilities and related infrastructure for the upstream oil and gas, LNG, gas-to-liquids, coal-to-products, carbon capture and storage, refining, chemicals and petrochemicals, environmental and power industries as well as pharmaceutical, biotech and health care industries.
Approximately 12,000 talented professionals are employed with specialized expertise dedicated to serving clients through one of two primary business groups: the Global Power Group (GPG) and the Global Engineering and Construction (E&C) Group. GPG is a world leader in combustion and steam-generation technology that designs, manufactures and erects steam-generating and auxiliary equipment for power stations and industrial facilities and also provides a wide range of aftermarket services. The Global E & C Group professionals bring their expertise to the entire value chain of the oil and gas industry, from the wellhead to LNG and gas-to-liquids, to refining and petrochemicals and through to fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals.
The Global E&C Group provides the full range of services from concept to commissioning and beyond, including studies, FEEDs, EPC/EPCm, project management, commissioning and ongoing asset support. In upstream, we provide services to the oil and gas industry both on and offshore, including oil and gas field development subsea, umbilicals, risers and flowlines, topsides, crude oil separation and treatment, floating solutions, gas-processing plants and pipelines.
In gas monetization, we have been at the forefront of gas-to-liquids engineering and have a proven track record of innovation in LNG, encompassing liquefaction and regasification facilities, including floating LNG solutions.
Foster Wheeler’s refining projects range from conceptual technical and economic studies to revamps, expansions, world-scale new builds and for regulatory compliance, whether it’s to reduce plant emissions or to meet increasingly stringent transportation fuel specifications. We offer a full refinery investment-planning consultancy from initial market analysis and feasibility studies to the provision of an overall refinery “master plan,” and we also can deliver the project regardless of size. We also offer leading technologies for residue upgrading, sulfur removal, hydrogen production and more.
Foster Wheeler has a long and illustrious reputation in the chemicals, petrochemicals and polymers market, and in refinery/petrochemical integration. Our track record is diverse and includes some of the largest investments in the world, new chemicals complexes and expansions, right down to single units and asset support provided under long-term agreements.
Foster Wheeler’s role in the pharmaceutical industry encompasses the full range of facilities for pharmaceutical research, development and manufacture. Available services include technical consultancy, site master planning, process simulation, continuous processing, EPCm, validation and more. Health, safety and environment (HSE) is at the heart of everything we do.
In terms of HSE, our safety record is world-class and frequently wins awards. Our projects always have a “green” element and also have extensive experience in “green” initiatives, such as gasification (including biomass), carbon capture and power generation (including wind and solar and clean coal plants).
