- Capacity: 13.5 million tons/annum & 270,000 bbl/day
- Nelson Complexity:
- Refining Depth:
Refining Units
- Atmospheric Distillation
- Vacuum Distillation - 4.8 Million Tons
- Catalytic Reformer - 1.7 Million Tons
- Isomerisation - 0.4 Million Tons
- Desulphurisation (Gasoline) - 3.9 Million Tons
- Desulphurisation (M.Distillate) - 4.5 Million Tons
Terminal Capacity
- Crude Oil:
- Refined Products:
Crude Supply
- The crude oil processed is low-sulfur mostly from the North Sea
Products Produced
- Wilhelmshaven mainly produces transportation fuels, fuel oil and intermediate feedstocks
Projects
- For Details see Wilhelmshaven Refinery Upgrade Project
- Presently the facility is a hydroskimming refinery.
- ConocoPhillips announced in March 2008 that it plans to upgrade the refinery so that it can produce higher-value products from a wider variety of crude slates. It will upgrade Wilhelmshaven to a full conversion facility with 223,000 b/d crude capacity
- ConocoPhillips intended to make the facility more complex by adding new coker, hydrocracker, and hydrogen plants.
- The company also plans to add deep conversion and power generation capabilities to the plant.
- These additions would have allowed the plant run a more advantageous crude slate, including Russian Export blends, while increasing overall conversion and reducing operating costs. The upgrade project is expected to increase the refinery's clean products yield to 80% and provide a high yield of ultra low sulfur diesel in the distillate short market.
- The project was cancelled
Other Information
