TianREC Polysilicon Plant

Fluor was awarded a contract by Shaanxi Non-Ferrous Tian Hong REC Silicon Materials Co., Ltd. (TianREC) to provide detailed design services and technical support for its new polysilicon plant in Yulin, Shaanxi Province, China. Fluor previously completed the front-end engineering and design (FEED) for the project.


Client's Challenge

TianREC is a joint venture of REC Silicon and Tian Hong, a Chinese State-Owned Enterprise. The new plant, utilizing REC Silicon's next generation fluidized bed reactor technology, is expected to have a production capacity of 18,000 metric tons of granular polysilicon, an additional 300 metric tons of Siemens polysilicon and 500 metric tons of silane gas loading.


Fluor's Solution

Fluor has a long-standing relationship with REC Silicon in the United States. The award of the detailed design and technical support contract for this project follows Fluor's completion of the FEED package, and builds upon the successful completion of several previous projects for REC Silicon. Fluor's Aliso Viejo, California office completed the FEED for this project based on expertise with REC Silicon's technology.

Fluor's Shanghai office headed the project, with support from Fluor's offices in Aliso Viejo, New Delhi, Cebu and Beijing. Following the successful execution of a number of polysilicon projects in China, this was the first time the Shanghai office led a $1Bn+ project. The project was led by a 100 percent local Chinese team.


Conclusion

Fluor provided detailed design services and technical support for TianREC's new polysilicon plant in Yulin, Shaanxi Province, China. Utilizing REC Silicon's next generation fluidized bed reactor technology, the project is expected to have a production capacity of 18,000 metric tons of granular polysilicon upon completion.
