The Premium I Refinery will be a dual train, 600,000 barrels per stream day (bpsd) facility in Maranhao State, and the Premium II Refinery will be a single-train 300,000bpsd facility in Ceara State.
Foster Wheeler will be the prime subcontractor to Honeywell’s UOP, the managing process technology licensor.
The contract calls for the provision of basic design and FEED for the main process units and auxiliary units.
Each of the three refinery trains will consist of a crude vacuum distillation unit, a four-drum delayed coker based on Foster Wheeler’s SYDEC technology, a hydrocracker, a distillate hydrotreater, a naphtha hydrotreater based on UOP technology, a hydrogen unit based on Foster Wheeler’s hydrogen production technology, a sour water stripper and amine regeneration and a sulfur recovery unit.
Both refineries will be designed to produce diesel.
