Summary Information

  • Ownership: Recope
  • 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.

+++ Terminal Capacity
