LNG Regasification Terminal Quintero Bay, Chile - CB&I

Project Updates: HDS Plant
Desulfurization Unit Up and Running
Gdansk, Poland
Chevron Lummus Global (CLG) is the technology
licensor for this diesel Gas Oil Desulfurization
Unit, owned by Grupa LOTOS S.A. This unit has a
2.3 million metric tons per annum capacity and
produces desulfurized diesel with less than 10 parts
per million of sulfur, while also providing a cloud
point improvement of 12 degrees Celsius. The unit
has exhibited stable operation, producing ultra-low
sulfur diesel.
Upon CLG completing the basic engineering design
of the unit, the detailed engineering, procurement
and construction contract was awarded in October
of 2006 and the plant was ready for start-up in May
2009. There were zero lost-time incidents on this
project with more than one million hours worked.
Chevron Lummus Global (CLG) is a 50/50 joint
venture between Chevron and Lummus Technology.
CLG provides licensed technology and catalysts
for hydrocracking, residuum upgrading, lube
hydrofinishing/dewaxing, distillate hydrotreating, and
gas oil hydrotreating. Some of the technologies they
offer include:
• ISOCRACKING
• RDS/VRDS
• OCR
• ISODEWAXING
• ISOFINISHING
• LC-FINING
The plant was built on a very tight plot, which made
erecting some of the equipment challenging, especially
this 700-ton reactor.
