offer a full EPC service for the supply & installation of Modular Refineries from 50 Barrels a day up to 20,000 Barrels a day and multiples streams thereof.

Our technical partners undertake all the modular construction at their vast fabrication facilities in Houston, USA.

undertakes all the Logistics & Construction activities within Nigeria. Commissioning & Operator Training is undertaken jointly within Nigeria

CRUDE TOPPING UNITS

Produce marketable products in minimal time. Modular crude topping units are each custom-designed for the crude oil to be refined, with capacities ranging from 1,000 to 20,000 barrels per day. Each modular crude unit is constructed of all new materials and can be ready for shipment with the world's fastest production schedule.

 Each crude topping unit is capable of producing naphtha, kerosene (jet fuel), diesel and fuel oil. Actual processing capacities, product percentages and boiling points will vary according to the unique characteristics of the crude oil.

 Upon request, our technical partners can furnish information on expected yields and modify crude units to meet your special product needs. We can also furnish any additional equipment needed for further processing of your product streams, including hydro-treaters, catalytic reformers, and naphtha stabilizers

MODULAR REFINERY APPLICATIONS

Traditionally, the petroleum industry has constructed large-scale refineries at centralized locations, supplying them with crude oil and gas condensate via pipeline and transport truck. Refined grades of products are subsequently transported from the refinery to consumer markets, primarily by transport truck. While large-scale refineries provide the bulk of refined products to the world marketplace, the majority of new hydrocarbon discoveries by industry majors and large independents occur in areas where there is limited or no available infrastructure for transportation and refining. Therefore, producers are forced to construct expensive infrastructures for transporting the hydrocarbons to an available refinery, or construct a new refinery at a location near the production site. Under the best of circumstances this process can take several years.

In populated areas near a pipeline or oil field and not near a refinery, a small mini-refinery can be installed that will process crude from the pipeline. This plant can “process the diesel” or desired distillate for local consumption, and then injects the unused portion of the crude back into the pipeline.

Each process plant is skid mounted, modular in design and transportable to the source of crude production or a pipeline location. System commissioning at the site, on the small units, can be complete within 3 months after arrival at the pre-prepared site location. These units can be easily relocated with a minimum amount of field construction. Refined products produced from a modular refinery processing plant can be sold to local markets or supplied as a feedstock for further processing and the residual oil returned to the crude pipelines.
