+++ The Project

  • Project Type:
  • Project Summary:
* Upgrade of the refinery's crude capacity from 36 kbbls/day to 50 kbbls/day (39% increase).
* Installation of a new catalytic reforming unit with capacity of 7,500 bbls/day. 
* Installation of a new desulphurisation facility to reduce the sulphur content in diesel oil from 5,000 ppm to approximately 15 ppm. 
* Installation of a new vacuum tower (nominal capacity 30kbbls/day) to produce vacuum gas oil for export. 
* Installation of a Delayed Coker Unit (15 kbbls/day) for the conversion of the vacuum residue into higher quality products such as gasoline, jet fuel and diesel.
