中国石化新闻网讯 据道琼斯4月24日消息,埃克森美孚将投资逾10亿美元扩建位于英国最大的一体化设施中的Fawley炼油厂和化工装置。 这家油气公司周三表示,上述投资将令该炼油厂的超低硫柴油的产量增长近45%,合38,000桶/日。该公司表示,该项目料将帮助降低英国的柴油进口,英国2017年约半数的柴油供应来自进口。 埃克森美孚表示,对位于南安普敦水域沿线的Fawley炼油厂和化工装置投资项目还包括支持埃索公司的物流和燃料营销业务的改进。 该项目将新建一套加氢精制装置,以去除燃料中的硫,并新建一个制氢装置,以提高炼油厂的能源效率。该公司表示,超低硫燃料可以改善空气质量,为牵引拖车、公共汽车、船舶和越野设备的发动机提供动力。 该项目的建设预计在今年年底启动,不过还需经过监管机构的批准,预计2021年将投入使用。 唐绍红 摘译自 道琼斯 原文如下: DJ ExxonMobil to Invest More Than $1 Billion to Expand U.K.'s Fawley Refinery ExxonMobil Mobil Corp. (XOM) will invest more than $1 billion to expand the Fawley refinery and chemical plant in the U.K., Britain's largest integrated facility. The oil and gas company said Wednesday its investment will increase production of ultra-low sulfur diesel by almost 45%, or 38,000 barrels per day. The project is expected to help reduce diesel imports into the U.K., which imported about half of its supply in 2017, the company said. The investment of the Fawley site, located along Southampton Water, also includes improvements that will support Esso's logistics and fuels marketing operations, the company said. The project calls for building a hydrotreater unit to remove sulfur from fuel and a new hydrogen plant meant to improve the refinery's energy efficiency. Ultra-low sulfur fuels lead to improved air quality when powering engines on tractor-trailers, buses, marine vessels and off-road equipment, the company said. Construction is scheduled to begin late this year, subject to regulatory approval, and startup is expected in 2021.
