General Atomics Electromagnetic Systems (GA-EMS) received an order for a 16-module electrostatic separator system for installation at the new residue upgrading complex (RUC) project at S-Oil Corporation’s Onsan refinery in the Republic of Korea.
Because modern refineries rely on residual fluidized catalytic crackers (RFCC) to convert heavy crude oil into lighter hydrocarbon products, the conversion process creates slurry oil/decant oil, a by-product containing catalyst fines. Through a unique electrostatic process, GA-EMS’s separators capture and remove all solids from the process stream, resulting in higher value clarified oil products, less downstream contamination, and significantly reduced maintenance requirements.
