Singapore Refining Co. (SRC), jointly owned by Singapore Petroleum and Chevron, has chosen JGC Corp. to carry out the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) work to build a gasoline clean fuels facility and a cogeneration plant at SRC's refinery in Jurong, Singapore. 

Project commissioning is expected by the first half of 2017.

New facilities under the EPC contract include a gasoline desulfurization unit, an amine treating Unit, a heavy naphtha splitter and a two-train cogeneration unit.

The new gasoline desulfurization unit with a capacity of 26,000 bpd and the cogeneration unit with a total power output of 72 megawatts, together with the naphtha splitter, is expected to enable production of motor gasoline that meets Euro-IV and V specifications under more energy-efficient operation. 

It will enhance also SRC's clean fuels capability and enable SRC to meet stricter gasoline specifications when these are implemented.
