Shell plans $2. 2-billion renovation of Dutch refinery
- Shell Internationale Petroleum Maatschappij B.V., Hague (Netherlands)
Royal Dutch/Shell Group recently approved a $2.2 billion rejuvenation of its Pernis refinery, near Rotterdam. This upgrade will enable the refinery to meet product volume and quality demands well into the next century, while reducing environmental emissions. Cornerstones of the $1.7-billion main revamp project are a single-train, 8,000 metric tons/sd (mt/sd), or about 56,000 b/sd, hydrocracking unit and a three-train 1,650 mt/sd residue-gasification unit for production of hydrogen and sulfur-free fuel gas. Fuel gas will be used in a new 115-mw electricity cogeneration plant. In addition, new amine treating, sulfur recovery, and tail gas units will be installed. The paper describes the process selection; hydrocracking unit; gasification unit; utilities; construction; and environmental aspects.
