- 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 the RAPL Rotterdam Antwerp 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 included 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.
- Total Antwerp Petrochemical Complex, 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.
