The basic engineering design will be developed by Haldor Topsoe and Technip operating centre in Rome, Italy, while Technip operating centre in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, will execute the front-end engineering design.
The complex is expected to be completed within the first half of 2012, and is scheduled to be in operation within the second half of 2015.
