Petroperu Talara Refinery Modernization Project, Talara, Peru

摘要

To increase the production of low-sulfur refined transportation fuels, Peru is expanding and modernizing its Talara refinery. The $3.5-B project will allow the refinery to meet new sulfur requirements for gasoline and diesel, as well as increase the facility's flexibility to process heavier crudes. The plant's refining capacity will increase from 62 Mbpd to 95 Mbpd. The project includes the expansion and modification of existing processing units, such as the CDU, the catalytic cracking complex and the vacuum distillation unit (VDU). New processing units will also be constructed onsite. These units include a diesel hydrotreater, a cracked naphtha hydrotreater, a VDU, a flexicoker, a naphtha hydrotreater, a naphtha catalytic reformer, an amine unit and a cogeneration unit.
