4.3 Facilities upgrades

Uhde was commissioned by Esso Australia toassist in the selection of a field developmentconcept for a new gas field in Australia’s BassStrait. The concepts ranged from maximum useof existing infrastructure in multiple locations toinstallation of a new platform and pipeline. Uhdedefined the process, flow assurance, construc-tion, operations, capital and operating costs and schedule parameters associated with eachoption. The preferred platform upgrade optionwas then converted to a FEED package.

For Sasol’s Temane gas development inMozambique, Uhde undertook the conceptstudy, followed by basic engineering to increasethe capacity of the onshore gas processingplant from 122 to 183 PJ/annum. The facilityexpansion included additional gas processingunits with triethylene glycol (TEG) dehydration,

dew point control, HP compression and fiscalmetering as well as condensate stabilisation,storage facilities and a utilities upgrade. A dy-namic model of the pipeline and a flow assur-ance study were also performed. Uhde laterundertook a pre-feasibility study to definevarious options to further expand the capacity of the central production facility (CPF) unit to240 - 300 PJ/annum.

After having been involved in the detail designof the original plant, Uhde was awarded theFEED and detail design & procurement servicesfor the Phase II development of the Dinh Co gastreatment plant for BP Vietnam and Petrovietnam.The Phase II treatment plant has a capacity of 355 mmscfd including a slug catcher, twolow-temperature separation trains, gas-liquidsstabilisation and condensate stabilisation.

5.2 Revamp experience

Uhde has extensive project delivery experience in performing revamps and capacity upgrades to existing refineries to meet market drivers such as:

• Increased capacity requirements

• Tighter product quality specifications

• Increase in octane pool

• Poor quality or distressed cargo crude feedstock

• Energy conservation through the use of pinch analysis techniques and/or equipment enhancements

• Support for planned maintenance turnarounds

• Rejuvenation of aging facilities

This type of work demands a different set of skills from greenfieldsprojects, including:

• use of laser scanning and photogrammetric as-built data gathering, validation and updating of existing design data and documentation

• base line performance testing and optimisation

• knowledge of working within a live operating plant

• specialised construction techniques such as modularisation to minimise on-site work and personnel exposure to an operating plant environment, and to improve fabrication quality

These projects often start with a comprehensive field test run, followed by optimisation studies to determine the existing capacityand actual performance of the unit before revamp design com-mences.

This knowledge and experience has been gathered over manyyears and many successful brownfields projects.

5.3 Challenges facing the refining sector

Fuels are the most important energy sources,particularly in the transport sector. Therefore,the global petroleum market is focussed on theproduction of state of-the-art environment-friendly fuels which meet the high quality stand-ards of modern times. To add to environmentalprotection, a growing interest is also beingshown in the use of renewable energies.

Changing market requirements and ever morestringent environmental standards necessitatehigh investments in additional conversion units

to convert heavy gasoils and residues into lightproducts, such as gasoline and diesel fuel.Technology providers, designers and catalystvendors are challenged to deal with feedstocksbecoming gradually more difficult to process inthe future.

Uhde offers refinery customers optimum pro-cesses and efficient plants to enable them tomeet these challenges and produce high-qualityfuels. Two examples are shown on the next page.


15

5.3.1 Clean fuels

In September 2006 and May 2007 respectively,PETROM S.A., a subsidiary of OMV Austria,awarded Uhde with contracts for both FEED andEPC LSTK works for an FCC Gasoline PosttreaterProject. The aim of the project was to providefacilities for the production of low-sulphur fuel in full compliance with the European “FuelsDirective”, which came into effect in Romaniaonce it entered the European Union. The newplant consists of a new hydrodesulphurisationunit, a TAME unit, which was widely revampedunder the contract, and the corresponding tie-ins and interconnections with the existing re-finery’s energy and piping networks. The plantwas ready for commissioning at the beginningof March 2009, one week earlier than the con-tractual target date, and the project was com-pleted with zero lost-time incidents.

In 2003 Uhde was engaged by Caltex Australiato undertake the delivery, on an EPCM basis, of major clean-fuels projects at the company'srefineries at Lytton, near Brisbane, and Kurnell,on the outskirts of Sydney. At Lytton, the scopeincluded a light-cycle oil (LCO) hydrotreaterrevamp, and a grass-roots light reformate ben-zene hydrogenation unit. The work at Kurnellincluded a diesel hydrotreater revamp, a grass-roots light-reformate benzene hydrogenation unit, and a sour water system debottleneck.Following completion of this work, Caltex awardedUhde a contract for a second diesel hydro-treaterat the Lytton site.

5.3.2 Residue upgrading

OMV commissioned Uhde to build a deep thermalgasoil unit (TGU) at its refinery site in Schwechat,Austria. It was successfully started up in spring2009. The new plant processes 2.000 t/day vac-uum residue and is based on a process licensedby SHELL Global Solution International. It allowsbetter utilisation of low-value products. This ther-mal conversion process uses high-quality pro-ducts like gasoil and naphtha. In order to exploitavailable resources to the best extent, the TGUplant uses the exhaust heat stream from a gasturbine in a Heat Recovery Unit. This combinesthe generation of process heat with the gener-ation of electrical energy at the refinery site inSchwechat.

The objective of the TGU project is to maximisethe yield of high-value products from the residueof the vacuum distillation, thereby replacing theold Visbreaker unit. In addition to naphtha andgasoil, the TGU plant produces a cracked-gasstream, TGU Gas, which is pre-treated inside theTGU plant and sent to the refinery gas network. The bottom-of-the-barrel product VFCR (VacuumFlashed Cracked Residue) is incinerated to gener-ate heat & power in the refinery’s combined powerplant. Uhde’ s scope of services included basicand detail engineering, as well as procurementservices, construction management, and super-vision of the commissioning activities.

5.5 Highlights in refining

Within the framework of the WilhelmshavenClean Fuels Project to comply with the require-ments of the European Clean Fuels Program,the customer commissioned Uhde to provide anew 87,000 BPSD vacuum distillation unit. TheLSTK scope was carried out within budget andon time, despite erection during the winter withexposure to North Sea coastal winds and theneed for more than 300 tie-ins, the majoritytaking place during operation.

The vacuum tower produces light vacuum gasoil (LVGO), medium vacuum gas oil (MVGO) andheavy vacuum gas oil (HVGO) that are com-bined to provide saleable vacuum gas oil (VGO)of tight specification as feed for hydrocracking.Slop wax and vacuum residue are blended withcutter stock to saleable heavy fuel oil (HFO).

To enable handling of the new products, wemodified the storage and logistical facilitieswithout adding extra tanks, berths or loadingarms. This meant extensive work on the severalproduct export pipelines, designing and install-ing a new and innovative in-line pigging system.In addition, existing tanks were re-assigned andjetty facilities modified.

The clean fuels project at ExxonMobil’s Altona(Australia) refinery, for which Uhde provided thebasic and detailed engineering, procurementand project management services, was awardedthe 2007 Victorian Engineering Excellence Awardfor Industrial Development and Manufacturing.The judges said they were “impressed by thestrong and capable management of all aspectsof the project".

The project, to produce low diesel sulphur andto reduce the benzene content of gasoline, in-volved substantially reconfiguring the refinery,

installing new plant and equipment, changingthe service of existing equipment and also refur-bishing and reusing previously decommissionedequipment. The scope also included modifica-tions to facilities outside battery limits, variousupgrades of other refinery units, utilities design,tie-ins and interface work.

The achievement of schedule was paramount to meeting government legislation and Uhdeintroduced a number of innovative solutions formaintaining schedule despite the difficulties ofworking within an operating refinery.

Over a period of 12 years Uhde improved thePCK refinery in Schwedt in a number of stagesby adding a diesel hydrotreater, a methyl ter-tiary butyl ether (MTBE) complex and a C5/C6isomerisation unit. The crude and vacuum distil-lation units were revamped and later the MTBEunit was converted to produce ethyl tertiarybutyl ether (ETBE). Further selective hydrogen-ation of MTBE raffinate and oxygenate removalwere introduced. On top a propane-propylenesplitter was built.

Uhde’s most recent project there was to build a turnkey plant for the etherification of naphthawith bioethanol. Besides the engineering, sup-

ply of all material and equipment, constructionmanagement and commissioning supervision,Uhde also trained the operating personnel. Theplant, which has an annual capacity of almostone million tonnes of high-quality light naphthaand is based on a process licensed by theFinnish company Neste Jacobs Oy, started pro-duction on schedule. The light naphtha producedis used at the refinery as a blending componentfor the production of modern, environment-friendly gasolines. The new plant raises theoctane number of this fuel component byalmost two points and considerably increasesthe percentage of replenishable feedstocks orrenewable energy sources contained in the fuel.

Uhde’s capability from conceptual design andrefinery-wide optimisation studies through tocomplete EPCM project delivery is demonstratedthrough Uhde’s recent project experience withShell Australia, with whom the company has a20+ year association.

Shell operates refineries at Geelong (Victoria)and Clyde (NSW). In 2003, Uhde was awardedthe contract for EP services for the hydrodesul-phurisation unit (HDS2) at Shell’s Geelong re-finery. The project involved a 6000 tpd hydro-desulphurisation unit based on Shell globalsolutions international (SGSI) technology anddesigned to meet a 50ppm sulphur limit. Sincestartup the unit has been operating well and iscapable of achieving the 2009 sulphur limit of10ppm without modification.

In 2006 Shell awarded Uhde the FEED and EP contracts for the fluid catalytic cracking unit(FCCU) particulates reduction project at the

Geelong refinery and in 2007 the FEED andEPCM contracts for the revamp of the diesel3500 tpd HDS unit at its Clyde refinery to meetthe 2009 sulphur limit of 10ppm.

The progression from project delivery into front-end assignments has continued with Shell, in2007, engaging Uhde to develop their marginimprovement projects for the Geelong refinery.This assignment initially involved a team ofengineers scoping projects to improve refinerymargins. Uhde performed the process designand assisted Shell in preparing documentationfor its scouting and concept selection phase. As well as equipment and hydraulic checks, thework included full process simulations (includingthe crude unit), calibration against test runs,thermal pinch analysis of preheat trains in thecrude and fractionation units and some newheat integration between units. At the comple-tion of the concept phase, Uhde’s role pro-gressed through to the FEED and EP phases of the work.

Lube oil in Turkmenistan

Lube oil was the starting point for our Germanrefining engineering center (Edeleanu) some100 years ago, and we have kept improving our proprietary process know-how ever since.Turkmenbashi Refinery commissioned Uhde to license and design a lube oil complex con-sisting of vacuum distillation, furfural extraction,methyl ether ketone (MEK) dewaxing, lube oilhydrofinishing, and blending units.

Two desulphurisation projects in parallel,LUKOIL, Bourgas, Bulgaria

Bulgarian company LUKOIL Neftochim BourgasAD, part of the Russian petroleum group LUKOIL,commissioned Uhde and one competitor, in par-allel, to each perform a FEED plus detailed costestimate on diesel hydrodesulphurisation basedon a process package from HALDOR TOPSOEAS. This work formed the foundation on whichUhde won the subsequent contract to build theplant at Bourgas on the Black Sea.

On top and simultaneously Uhde executes agasoline desulphurisation unit taking a processfrom Axens S.A.. The refining plants for the pro-duction of low-sulphur fuels have respective an-nual capacities of 1.6 million tons of diesel and1.1 million tons of gasoline.

Uhde’s scope of supplies and services com-prises the detail engineering, supply of equip-ment, construction support, commissioningsupervision, and training of the operating per-sonnel.

With a sulphur content of less than 10ppm(parts per million) future production will complywith the EU fuel directive in force since 2005.This marks the Bulgarian refinery’s conversionto low-sulphur fuels.
