Complex South Dakota Refinery Producing Ultra-Low Sulfur Transportation Fuels

摘要

Hyperion Refining requested RTP Environmental Associates (RTP) to prepare a best available control technology (BACT) analysis for the increase in C02 emissions from the HEC in South Dakota. The highly complex, full-conversion refinery will produce clean transportation fuels such as ultra-low-sulfur gasoline and ultra-low-sulfur diesel. The Hyperion Energy Center (HEC) is unique in that it is designed to be nearly self-sufficient with regard to generation of hydrogen, steam, and electric power. This self-sufficiency will be achieved using petroleum coke that is produced on site as the fuel source for the gasification process. As with other refineries, the carbon input to the HEC will be primarily in the form of crude oil feedstock and will include other sources such as natural gas.
