Takreer Ruwais refinery expansion design project

The Abu Dhabi Oil Refining Company (Takreer) in the UAE has awarded Axens the basic engineering design and licenses for the Takreer Ruwais Refinery Expansion Project

Takreer has awarded the Shaw Group a process license technology package that will include four Axens technologies along with the world's largest residue fluid catalytic cracker (RFCC) which is part of the Axens, Shaw, Total and IFP FCC Technology Alliance.

The Axens technologies to be included in the expansion at the Ruwais Industrial Complex include the following units:.

* Unsaturated LPG treatment unit (Sulfrex) - 59,800barrels per stream day (bpsd).

* C4-cut purification system (Alkyfining) - 37,800bpsd.

* Butane Isomerisation unit - 26,000bpsd.

* RFCC whole cracked naphtha hydrotreater (Prime-G+) - 40,930bpsd.

The centerpiece of the grassroots expansion will be the 127,100bpsd R2R RFCC unit.

The R2R includes the most advanced components in FCC technology, including: impact feed injectors, RS2 riser termination device, KFBE structured stripper packing, SCM selective cracking mixer and PetroRiser external riser for propylene production.

To date, over 40 FCC licenses have been awarded to the Technology Alliance.

The Ruwais Prime-G+ award is the 156th license of this technology for the production of ultra-low sulphur gasoline.
