This award follows the successful completion by Foster Wheeler of the front-end engineering design for the mild hydrocracker revamp and the procurement of major items.
The revamp’s objectives are the upgrade of the mild hydrocracker’s capacity, performance and conversion, while achieving a longer catalyst life duration.
The revamp includes major modification to the reaction section, including installation of a new pretreat reactor, as well as upgrading the gas compression circuit and installing a new high-pressure amine wash section.
Marco Moresco, Foster Wheeler Italiana’s CEO, said: We are very pleased to be awarded this revamp project by Saras. We have been working with Saras for a number of years at this refinery. We have an alliance-type frame agreement with Saras under which we undertake work at this refinery and, under this agreement, we have developed a strong, successful and co-operative working relationship with our client.
