Foster Wheeler wins a contract

Foster Wheeler announced today that its subsidiary Foster Wheeler South Africa has been awarded an engineering, procurement and construction management contract by Sasol Technology (Sastech) for a new research and development (R&D) facility associated with Sasol’s Fischer-Tropsch process.

Foster Wheeler will design and manage the construction of the new plant, which will be integrated into Sasol’s extensive R&D facility at Sasolburg, South Africa.
