Foster Wheeler nets Turkish refinery deal
21 Jun 2010
Reading, UK – SOCAR & TURCAS Rafineri has awarded Foster Wheeler a FEED contract for its planned refinery to be built st the Petkim Petrokimya facilities at Aliaga, Turkey. The deal includes a license and basic design package for the delayed coker, which will use FW’s SYDECSM delayed coking technology. The facility will have a capacity of 214,000 barrels per stream day (BPSD) and is to deliver naphtha and fuel oil to PETK?M for petrochemical use.
The refinery will include crude and vacuum distillation units, naphtha hydrotreating, a 40,000 BPSD delayed coking unit, a 66,000 BPSD hydrocracking unit, kerosene and diesel hydrotreaters, LPG caustic treatment units, a 28,000 BPSD continuous catalytic reformer, a saturated gas unit, an amine and sour water stripper, sulfur and tail gas treatment units and a 160,000 Nm3/h hydrogen unit, as well as utilities, auxiliary systems and offsite facilities.
The SYDECSM process as configured for this project will be designed to maximize clean liquid yields while minimizing fuel coke yields. Foster Wheeler’s scope of work under these contracts is expected to be completed by the end of 2010.
