New crude capacity on line in Albany, New York
Cibro Petroleum Products has built a 30,000 bbl/day hydroskimming refinery that went on stream in fall 1978 and is to produce naphtha and No. 6 and 2 fuel oils. The nine major assemblies were fabricated, prepiped, prewired, insulated, instrumented, and tested by Berry Corp. in Corpus Christi, Tex., and barged via the intracoastal waterway and the Hudson River to Albany. A nominal 30,000 bbl/day topping plant, a naphtha stabilizer, two new 10 in. loading arms at the dock, major revisions of the tank farm piping system, and upgrading of the existing boiler house and electrical facilities comprised the project. The primary distillation column and heaters are oversized, and with added pumps, could increase capacity to over 40,000 bbl/day. Conventional cone roof tanks with internal floaters were chosen over floating roof tanks because of the severe winters. The plant has a hydrogen sulfide caustic scrubber to clean up the refinery gas prior to combustion; there are facilities for treating the wastewater, prior to discharge to the Albany County sewer district, and treating slop oil. An API separator and dissolved air flotation units provide for oil separation.
