New Delhi, Dec 14 (UNI) Larsen&Toubro Ltd (L&T) today said it has won two contracts of an aggregate value of 86 million dollars from leading Chinese petrochemical company Sinopec.

The company has been contracted to design, manufacture and supply of three ethylene oxide reactors, each weighing in excess of 1,000 tonnes. The reactors will form part of the Methyl Ethyl Glycol (MEG) unit in a petrochemical plant.

''Secured against competition from Japanese and Germany firms, the latest orders reflect the strong credibility built by the company in international markets for high technology manufacture,'' L&T said in a statement.

In the last two years, the company has supplied to China equipment valued over 300 million dollars, including the world's largest coal gasifier and advanced acronitrile reactors.

The company is continuing multiple engagements with Chinese industry. It has recently set up a factory for the manufacture of switchgear in Wuxi, Jiangsu, for valves in Yangcheng, Jiangsu, and will soon have manufacturing facilities for rubber processing machinery in Jionan, Qingdao.

L&T is among the few Companies in the world which has been approved by the Chinese Heavy Industry Ministry with SQL certification for supply of critical equipment.
