Associated support facilities will include sulfur handling, transport, and storage (patio with
concrete slab and storm water collection); coke handling, transport, and storage (configuration
to be determined); product transport and storage (13 new tanks to increase capacity by 2.4 MM
bbls, 9 new spheres/pressurized storage); torch system; electrical energy (75 MW new capacity);
steam production; water supply and treatment (approximately 6,000 gal/min or 0.36 m 3 /sec
required); water cooling towers.
The entire expansion and upgrade process will be carried out within the existing refinery’s
boundaries. The expansion will be located on about 135 ha of land east of the existing
operations.
The main construction works involving vegetation clearing and grading of approximately
135 ha (estimated movement of 500,000 m 3 of organic soil material); building and operation of
construction offices, work areas, and maintenance areas; and fill and compaction of base for
facilities have been completed. The main activities that remain to be completed include:
casting of reinforced concrete structures; foundation construction; assembly of equipment, civil
works and hydrostatic testing; laying of pipelines for raw materials and product transport;
installation of storage tanks; refinery commissioning, start-up, and testing; and site cleanup.
The Project is considering three options for raw material delivery:
