This excerpt taken from the CBI 10-K filed Mar 1, 2007. Services
We provide a wide range of innovative and value-added EPC
services, including:
Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG). LNG terminals and
similar facilities are used for the production, handling,
storage and distribution of liquefied gases. We specialize in
providing turnkey liquefaction and regasification facilities
consisting of terminals, tanks, and associated systems. These
facilities usually include special refrigeration equipment to
maintain the gases in liquefied form at the storage pressure. We
also provide LNG tanks on a stand-alone basis. Process equipment
and refrigerated or cryogenic tanks are built from special
steels and alloys that have properties to withstand cold
temperatures. Applications extend from low temperature (+30 F to
−100 F) to cryogenic (−100 F to −423 F).
Customers for these facilities or tanks are primarily from the
petroleum, natural gas, power generation and agricultural
industries.
Refining and Related Processes. We provide EPC
services for customers in the hydrocarbon industry, specializing
in refinery and petrochemical process units, gas processing
plants, and hydrogen and synthesis gas plants. Refinery and
petrochemical process units enable customers to extract products
from the top, middle and bottom streams of the crude oil barrel
using technologies such as catalytic reforming, vacuum and
atmospheric distillation, fuels and distillate hydrotreating,
hydrodesulfurization, alkylation, coking, and isomerization. Gas
processing plants treat natural gas to meet pipeline
requirements and to recover valuable liquids and other enhanced
products, through such technologies as cryogenic separation,
amine treatment, dehydration and liquids fractionation.
Synthesis gas plants generate industrial gases for use in a
variety of industries through technologies such as steam methane
and auto-thermal reforming, partial oxidation reactors and
pressure swing adsorption purification. CB&I also provides
engineering services for offshore structures for oil and gas
production and pipelines for product distribution.
Steel Plate Structures. Steel plate structures
include above ground storage tanks, pressure vessels, and other
specialty structures. Above ground storage tanks are sold
primarily to customers operating in the petroleum, petrochemical
and chemical industries. This industrial customer group includes
nearly all of the world’s major oil and chemical companies.
Above ground tanks can be used for storage of crude oil, refined
products such as gasoline, chemicals, petrochemicals and a large
variety of feedstocks for the manufacturing industry. In
addition, CB&I provides structures for water storage and
treatment as well as liquefied petroleum gas (“LPG”)
and liquefied nitrogen/liquefied oxygen (“LIN/LOX”)
tanks. Pressure vessels are built primarily from high strength
carbon steel plates which may be formed in one of our
fabrication shops and are welded together at the job site.
Pressure vessels

are constructed in a variety of shapes and sizes, some weighing
in excess of 700 tons, with wall thickness in excess of four
inches. Typical pressure vessel usage includes process and
storage vessels in the petroleum, petrochemical, and chemical
industries and egg-shaped digesters for wastewater treatment.
Other specialty structures are marketed to a diverse group of
customers. Examples of specialty structures include processing
facilities or components used in the mining industries. We have
designed and erected tanks, pressure vessels, and other
specialty structures throughout the world.

Low Temperature/Cryogenic Tanks and
Systems. These facilities are used primarily for
the storage and handling of liquefied gases. We specialize in
providing refrigerated turnkey terminals and tanks. Refrigerated
tanks are built from special steels and alloys that have
properties to withstand cold temperatures at the storage
pressure. These systems usually include special refrigeration
systems to maintain the gases in liquefied form at the storage
pressure. Applications extend from low temperature (+30 F to
−100 F) to cryogenic (−100 F to −423 F).
Customers in the petroleum, chemical, petrochemical, specialty
gas, natural gas, power generation and agricultural industries
use these tanks and systems to store and handle liquefied gases
such as LNG, methane, ethane, ethylene, liquefied petroleum gas
(“LPG”), propane, propylene, butane, butadiene,
anhydrous ammonia, oxygen, nitrogen, argon and hydrogen.
Pressure Vessels. Pressure vessels are built
primarily from high strength carbon steel plates which may be
formed in one of our fabrication shops and are welded together
at the job site. Pressure vessels are constructed in a variety
of shapes and sizes, some weighing in excess of 700 tons, with
wall thickness in excess of four inches. Existing customers

chemical, and

pulp and paper industries, where process applications of high
pressure
and/or
temperature are required. Typical pressure vessel usage includes
process and storage vessels in the petroleum, petrochemical, and
chemical industry; digesters in the pulp and paper industry; and
egg-shaped digesters for wastewater treatment. We have designed
and erected pressure vessels throughout the world.
Standard Tanks. Our standard tanks include
aboveground storage systems and water storage and treatment
structures. Aboveground storage tanks are sold primarily to
customers operating in the petroleum, petrochemical and chemical
industries. This industrial customer group includes nearly all
of the world’s major oil and chemical companies.
Aboveground tanks can be used for storage of crude oil, refined
products such as gasoline, raw water, potable water, chemicals,
petrochemicals and a large variety of feedstocks for the
manufacturing industry. The water storage line includes single
pedestal spheroid, fluted column and concrete elevated tanks, as
well as standpipes and reservoirs. These structures have a
capacity range from 25,000 gallons to more than 30,000,000
gallons. Water storage structures provide potable water reserves
and supply pressure to the water distribution system. The water
treatment line includes solids contact clarifiers and standpipe
mixing systems.
Specialty and Other Structures. Our specialty
and other structures are marketed to a diverse group of
customers. Examples of specialty structures include processing
facilities or components used in the iron, aluminum and mining
industries, hydroelectric structures such as penstocks and
spiral cases, and other unique engineered structures.
Repairs and Turnarounds. Repair, maintenance
and modification services are performed primarily on flat bottom
tanks and pressure vessels for customers in the petroleum,
chemical, petrochemical and water industries. A turnaround is a
planned shutdown of a refinery, chemical plant or other process
unit for repair and maintenance of equipment and associated
systems. The work is usually scheduled on a multi-shift, seven
day-per-week
basis to minimize downtime of the facility. This service often
requires short cycle times and unique construction procedures.
We offer this service worldwide to our customers in the
petroleum, petrochemical and chemical industries.
