ARAK REFINERY EXPANSION AND PRODUCTS UPGRADING PROJECT

1.1.1

Project Description
The PROJECT intends to implement an expansion revamp and products
upgrading and also to investigate the impacts of this revamp and
expansion on the overall operation of existing units and facilities of ARAK
Refinery.
In order to achieve the following objectives, revamp of the existing facilities
such as Crude atmospheric Distillation and Vacuum Distillation Units
(CDU/VDU) and adding the new process units are implemented.
(1) Maximize gasoline production with achieving the products meeting
EU2005 specification.
(2) Increase throughput of CDUs from 150,000 BPSD to 249,100 BPSD by
installing a new 80,000 BPSD CDU (existing CDU can process
169,100 BPSD as proven by current operation)
(3) Produce kerosene, diesel and fuel oil products in compliance with new
environmental regulation
The outline of the process units for the PROJECT is summarized below:
Unit
Existing CDU

Capacity

Remarks

169,100
BPSD

Nominal capacity is 150,000 BPSD.

169,100 BPSD has been proven in
actual operation.
One Desalter added to operate for the
new process configulation.

Existing VDU

82,300 BPSD Capacity increased to 82,300 BPSD

from 71,000 BPSD to obtain 24,500
BPSD of HVGO for HCR feedstock.
Internal to be modified.

CDU2

80,000 BPSD No.2 CDU will be installed to increase

Refinery Capacity.

RFCC Unit

94,387 BPSD New RFCC unit will be installed to

maximize gasoline production.

RCD Unit

69,180 BPSD New Residue Hydrotreater will be

installed to reduce sulfur, metal and
CCR content in RFCC feedstock.
