So... What is EPC?

EPC stand for Engineering, Procurement and Construction...

Sometimes even EPCM (EPC + Management)

EPC is one of the KEY parts of delivering a Chemical Plant or a Chemical Process.

As you can see... its is one of the fundamental parts of the Chemical Process Lifecycle.

Operational Companies, typically hire EPC Companies to produce either:

  • Engineering, Procurement, Construction & Commissioning, Process Fine-tuning and, in some cases, full staff training.

Main Advantages:

  • Cost and Schedule Certainty
  • Risk Transfer
  • Technical Expertise and Integration
  • Streamlined Communication

Common issues with EPC:

  • High Initial Cost
  • Quality Concerns
  • Dependence on Contractor’s Expertise

And just in case you were wondering... What are the Operation Companies vs. EPC Companies?

Well.. here they go:

Common Operation Companies

  • BASF
  • Dow Chemical
  • ExxonMobile
  • BP
  • Typically, will operate for the longest time the Chemical Plant and OWN the process/materials/plants

Common EPC Companies (Worldwide)

  • Bechtel
  • Jacobs Engineering
  • Fluor Group
  • Worley
  • Typically will design, work the engineering, build the Construction and Commission the Project. They do NOT OWN the chemical process/chemical plant.
