KAR Group has announced the third expansion of its Kalak refinery to 185,000 bpd. Process units and utilities are being provided by Ventech Engineers LLC of Pasadena, Texas. Ventech has provided modularized crude-distillation units, naphtha hydrotreaters, catalytic reformers, isomerization units and demercapta-nization systems, as well as gas plants and supporting utilities to the project. This is the refinery's third expansion, and is a continuation of Ventech's modular construction methods. The first phase utilized 26 process modules to add 20,000 bpd of refining capacity to KAR's existing 20,000-bpd plant. The subsequent second phase provided an additional 60,000 bpd of total refining capacity and was completed in 2011.
