OSTI ID:7249402

The U.S. Trade and Development Program (TDP) is considering the provision of funds to the Ghanaian Ministry of Fuel and Power (MFP) to conduct a study of the scope and feasibility of expanding and modernizing its Tema Refinery to meet future demands for gasoline and to minimize heavy fuel oil production. All of the needed licensed process technology and process know-how could be provided by U.S. sources and this, coupled with U.S. equipment and catalyst supply, meets the TDP criteria for funding the feasibility study. Europe aggressively offers alternate licensable technology for some of the processes. U.S. manufacturers of specialty equipment are marginally competitive in the international market, where competition is fierce. The Definitional Mission recommends that full feasibility study be undertaken.
