Repairs to the CITGO Refinery Delaved Coker Unit

摘要

CITGO Petroleum Corporation, driven by a commitment to safe and efficient operations, planned structural repairs to the sponge coker unit in its Lemont, IL, refinery during 30 days of a scheduled turnaround in the spring of 2012. The refinery manufactures several grades of gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, and high-quality hydrocarbon solvents used in the production of paints, adhesives, and coatings. One of the critical units in its refining operations is the sponge coker unit. Originally constructed in 1968, the coker structure repairs would allow for continued safe operations and the future installation of new upgraded equipment.
