- Website: http://www.recope.go.cr/
- Wiki Page: Puerto Limon Refinery
- Location: Costa Rica
- Capacity:
- Before: 1.25 million tons/annum & 25,000 bbl/day
- After: 3.0 million tons/annum & 60,000 bbl/day
- Nelson Complexity:
- Project Stage: FEED Awarded
- Expected Completion: [[[Refinery Projects to be Completed in 2015 | 2015]]]
- Budget: between $ 800 and $ 1,000 million
+++ The Project
- Project Type: Expansion & Upgrading
- Project Summary: To expand existing refinery to process 60,000 BPSD
- Main Contractors:
* WorleyParsons: Project management team and front end engineering and design services
+++ Refining Units
- Atmospheric distillation unit - 40 000 BPSD
- Vacuum unit - 40 000 BPSD
- Hydrotreating units for gasoline from 10 000 to 12 000 BPSD
- Hydrotreating units for diesel from 15 000 to 20 000 BPSD
- Moderate cracking units - 16 000 BPSD
- Catalytic reforming unit 10 000 BPSD
- A possible solvent deasphalting drive.
- It is estimated that it will be necessary to make a revamping of the existing catalytic reformer to convert to a 1300 BPSD isomerizer
- Extension may also require revamping the current Kerosene Hydrotreater 2400 BPSD process.
