Summary Information

Ownership: Petrom (OMV) Website: http://www.petrom.com/ Wiki Page: Petrobrazi Ploiesti Refinery Location: Petrobrazi Refinery is located in the South-East region of Romania, near Ploiesti City, a highly developed industrial area Capacity: Current: 4.5 million tons/annum & 90,000 bbl/day Future : 6.0 million tons/annum & 120,000 bbl/day Nelson Complexity: Project Stage:

  • Completion: 2014

Budget: € 750 mn

The Project

Project Type: Upgrade & Expansion Project Summary: the program is focused on increasing the capability to obtain higher products from domestic crude oil, but also, on the other hand, on increasing the capacity of secondary conversion. Increasing the Vacuum & Atmospheric Distillation unit capacity from 4.5 mn tons/year to 6 mn tons/year Expansion of the Coker unit Construction of Romania’s first-ever Hydrocracker unit, along with a New Steam Reforming Unit Main Contractors: Foster Wheeler will provide front-end engineering design (FEED) modification services and engineering, procurement and construction management (EPCm) for the revamp of an atmospheric/vacuum distillation unit at the refinery. In addition, the company has been awarded an EPCm contract for a new amine unit and the FEED for the revamp of a delayed coking unit. Licences: OMV/Petrom has licensed Topsøe’s hydrocracking technology for a 34,000 BPSD grassroots hydrocracking unit

Refining Units

Atmospheric/vacuum distillation unit - Revamp Hydrocracker - 34,000 - Haldor Topsoe Delayed coking unit - Revamp Amine unit
