Summary Information
- Ownership: BP
- Website: http://www.bp.com/
- List of BP Refineries
- Wiki Page: Whiting Refinery
- Location: Whiting, Indiana, USA
- Capacity: million tons/annum & bbl/day
- Nelson Complexity:
- Project Stage: Completed
- Expected Completion: 2013
- Budget: $3 billion
The Project
- Project Type: A major upgrade to enable the refinery to use ultra heavy Canadian crude
- Project Summary:
- Environmental Improvements: the Modernization Project includes $1.4 billion in environmental improvements.
- Gas Oil Hydrotreater: a modern hydrotreater will remove more sulfur and nitrogen from gas oil.
- Sulfur Recovery Complex: the existing sulfur recovery capabilities are being enhanced to create a more efficient system that will remove more sulfur from our fuels product streams.
- Petroleum Coker: a new state-of-the-art coker is being built to replace the existing one. The coker will enhance process safety through increased automation, increase coke and naphtha production.
- Distillation Unit: the refinery’s largest crude distillation unit is being reconfigured to process heavier crudes, helping to replace some of the light sweet crude that is becoming more difficult to source.
- Main Contractors
- **Jacobs:** licensing, design, and fabrication of Sulfur Recovery Facilities.
- **Jacobs:** The revamp of several hydroprocessing units
- **Praxair** is supplying the hydrogen from a purpose made facility
- **Emerson:** Process automation
Refining Units
- Atmospheric Distillation
- Petroleum Coker
- Gas Oil Hydrotreater
- Sulfur Recovery
Terminal Capacity
- Crude Oil:
- Refined Products:
Crude Supply
- The refinery’s largest crude distillation unit is being reconfigured to process heavier crudes
- These crudes will be largely sourced from Canada
Products Produced
- The project will increase the refinery's ability to produce clean fuels
