Boosting the Refining Capacity by 60%
•The Current expansions plan to increase the refinery processing capacity by 60% above the 100,000 BPSD designed capacity and achievement of 1st phase of the expansion by increasing the refinery capacity by 15% & introducing a third cell in the current Coker unit heater , which is already achieved, will boost refinery middle distillate production, especially Jet Fuel & Diesel, through maximum utilization of the existing process units and the refinery potentials, coping with the current international products specifications of Euro 5, and obtaining high quality products, in addition to meeting the domestic market needs.
•The expansion total estimated investment cost value is 2.3 billion US dollars and the effective date started EPC phase by 21 Feb 2019.
•EPC contract was signed between MIDOR & TechnipFMC on 14 Oct. and the contract being effective by 21.Feb.2019.
•The projected annual product quantities would rise to about 280 thousand tons of LPG, 1.6 million tons of high-octane gasoline, 2.2 million tons of high quality jet fuel and 2.8 million tons of diesel.
•Preliminary studies showed a high economic feasibility of the expansions, which transfers MIDOR refinery from 3rd to 4th generation, technologically.
