Delaware City refinery repowering project
With the increased use of heavy crude as a refinery feedstock and the associated increase in petroleum coke production, gasification technology has become the preferred approach to reduce coke volumes while at the same time coproducing power and steam for use in the refinery. The Motiva Enterprise Refinery at Delaware City produces approximately 2,000 tons per day of petroleum coke as a byproduct. This integrated gasification combined cycle repowering project will generate electricity and steam using the petroleum coke. The coke will be gasified using twin train Texaco Process gasifiers to fuel two 90 MW combustion turbines and heat recovery steam generators which in turn supply supplemental steam to 55 MW of existing steam turbines. The refinery's excess power will be sold into the power grid. The scope of the project also includes acid gas removal, coke slurry feed, air separation unit, solids handling, and common facilities and utilities. This paper will present an update on the project status with emphasis on project design scope.
