Axens signed several technology licensing agreements with Pertamina for its major expansion project to upgrade residue into gasoline in Balikpapan and for a new middle distillate hydrotreater in Cilacap, to comply with new regulations.
The Balikpapan project consists in a grassroots Resid FCC unit with a design capacity of 90 Mbpd, a LPG sulfur removal unit, a propylene recovery unit and a new 80 Mbpd middle distillate hydrotreater. The gasoline produced by the Resid FCC unit will be selectively hydrodesulfurized in a Prime-G unit with a design capacity of 48 Mbpd to produce ultra-clean gasoline.
The Cilacap project consists of a 36 Mbpd grassroots Prime-D distillate hydrotreater unit, allowing theproduction of ultra-low sulfur diesel.
The integration of Axens’ suite of technologies will enable Pertamina to significantly reduce Indonesia’s dependence on foreign imports of transportation fuels.
