117 kbpd crude oil refinery

Stock No: 300380

Working Volume: 0 Units/min

Complete refinery 117000 barrel per day oil refinery for sale. Plant consists of the following process units:

CDU

The Crude Distillation Unit was built from 1966 and was originally designed by Badger Engineering. Major upgrades include debottlenecking from original 60 kbpd to 117kbpd achieved over the years through the addition of furnace ID & FD fan, pump upgrades and exchanger and pipework upgrades. DCS controls were retrofitted in 1997 along with advanced control applications. A low NOx project for the furnace was engineered and equipment bought in 2008 but never installed – all currently held in storage.

HDS

The Hydrodesulfurization unit was originally designed by Foster Wheeler in 1990 as a 40tph catalytic dewaxer. It was converted in 1996 to a 125tph HDS unit to produce 50ppm diesel, design by Fluor Daniel. Since then the unit has been progressively debottlenecked to 165tph producing 10ppm diesel, achieved through an uprated vacuum drier installed in 2006.

Sulferox

This unit dates from 1996,

Merox

This unit dates from 1969. The technology is designed to remove mercaptan sulphur.

LPG Recovery

This unit dates from 1985.

The CDU is controllable at rates from 67 kbpd to 117 kbpd. Indeed it has run at the limits for extended periods as the prevailing economics has demanded. The yield sets at these extremes are:-

@ 67 kbpd, naphtha 25%, jet and kero 5%, ULSD 34%, LSFO 34%, F&L 2%

@117 kbpd, naphtha 26%, jet and kero 5%, ULSD 25%, heating oil 6%, LSFO 36%, F&L 2%
