Siemens 2HSE-2 net-gas reciprocating compressor like those ADNOC will install at the Ruwais Refinery-West plant.
Samsung Engineering and the Chicago Bridge & Iron Company (CB&I) – a McDermott International company – recently selected Siemens to provide 19 process reciprocating compressors for ADNOC Refining’s crude flexibility project at Ruwais Refinery-West.
Samsung Engineering and CB&I will provide EPC services to increase the refinery’s crude processing flexibility, enabling the site to process up to 420,000 barrels of oil per day of the local crude grade known as Upper Zakum, which is found offshore. The upgrade will improve the value of each barrel of oil and allow ADNOC to export more of its main onshore, lighter-grade Murban crude.
Project commissioning is expected in 2022.
Siemens will provide two 2HSE-2 net-gas reciprocating compressors; two 2HHEVG-1 reciprocating compressors; three 2HSE-1 NL hydrogen-recycle reciprocating compressors; four 4HHE-VB off-gas reciprocating compressors; and eight 4BDC18H3 make-up hydrogen reciprocating compressors. These API 618 process reciprocating compressors are known for their rugged design, high reliability and flexible operating range. The compressors are supplemented with a pipeline cylinder.
