Summary Information
Also known as Total Raffinaderij Antwerpen
Ownership: Total
Website: http://www.total.com/
List of Total Refineries
Location: Antwerp Belgium
Capacity: 18 million tonnes per year, 360,000 barrels per day
Nelson Complexity: 8.4
Brief Description
The refinery is a very large medium complexity refinery. It is Total's largest and Europe's second largest refinery complex.
Refining Units
crude distillation units: 348,000 bbls/day
vacuum distillation unit: 100,000 bbls/day
Reformer: 48,000 bbls/day
Fluidised catalytic crackers: 104,000 bbls/day
Visbreaker unit: 34,000 bbls/day
Diesel Desulphurisation Unit
Gasoline Desulphurisation Unit - 57,500 bbls/day
Sulphur Recovery Unit
Cogeneration unit (126 MW)
Terminal Capacity
Crude Oil:
Refined Products:
Crude Supply
Supertankers unload crude oil at the Rotterdam MET terminal.
This crude oil, with a low or a high sulphur content, is transported to Antwerp by pipeline
Products Produced
Products produced include gasoline, diesel and kerosene for the European and American markets, as well as into base products including naphtha, butane and aromatics for the petrochemicals sector.
Ongoing Projects
In 2008, Jacobs Engineering received a contract from Total Refinery Antwerp (TRA) to provide detailed design, engineering, procurement, and construction management services for a fluid catalytic cracker (FCC) unit waste gas treatment project
In 2012 Foster Wheeler was awarded an engineering, procurement and construction management (EPCm) services contract for the revamp of a hydrodesulfurization unit
In 2013 Total announced the Total Antwerp Refinery Upgrading Project, which will include the addition of a Solvent De-asphalting Unit and hydrocracker
Other Information
Located in the port of Antwerp, Total Raffinaderij Antwerpen is the largest and most complex refinery of the Total Group, and Europe’s second largest refinery by size. Total Raffinaderij Antwerpen is the vital link in Total’s integrated petrochemical complex in Belgium.
Fina Antwerp Olefins, the Group’s nearby monomer plant, processes these base products in its steamcrackers into light fractions, namely ethylene, butadiene and propylene. These are then used by the Antwerp and Feluy polymer plants to manufacture polyethylene, polypropylene and polystyrene.
The commissioning in April 2005 of a new gasoline desulphurisation plant soon illustrated the refinery’s commitment to optimising its industrial tool in anticipation of new, stricter European specifications on fuel. From its startup, this new plant has helped reduce the sulphur content of gasoline to 10 ppm, in accordance with the standards due to come into effect by 2009
