Honeywell UB has announced its selection by Kuwait Integrated Petroleum Industries (KIPEC) for the expansion and rehabilitation of refinery and petrochemicals at the Al-Zour Petroleum Complex in order to increase the production capacity of fuel and products. petrochemical.
Honeywell UB announced in a statement that it would evaluate the complex's components and gasoline production capacity, provide technology licenses, design services and major equipment, as well as catalysts and absorbers. leading edge, producing clean fuels, paraffin, propylene and other petrochemicals.
Rashad Abdullah, head of Honeywell in Kuwait, said the company was committed to supporting Kuwait's long-term growth in the energy sector and was working to harness its innovative technologies. and its advanced training programs to contribute to the goals of Kuwait 2035 and the ambitious vision set by the Petroleum Corporation.

"We are confident that our advanced technologies will help strengthen Kuwait's global position in the processing, refining and processing of oil and gas, as well as in the production of aromatic compounds and propylene," he said. added. Range ".
He explained that the Al-Zour oil complex is the largest integrated facility in Kuwait for refining petroleum products and petrochemical processing, which will include the 98,000-barrel catalyst-crushing unit. per day for the production of propylene, fuels and petrochemicals.
He added that the complex will also include a unit specializing in the production of low sulfur fuel blend components from Honeywell UOP.
He indicated that two Honeywell UOP units would be used to treat propane for the production of propylene and to produce isobutane in order to provide clean fuel blend components, including a methylethyl ether compound product. by another unit of Honeywell UB.
He added that the Azor oil complex will include a conversion unit of natural gas butane into isobutane compound with a production capacity of 193 metric tons per year.
He added that the petrochemical department will include a unit of aromatic compounds producing 1.4 million tonnes of paraxylene per year and will also use some aromatic compounds, which will include specialized Honeywell UB processing units.
Abdullah added that the project includes the development of the CCR unit as well as the extension of the crude naphtha processing unit using hydrogen in order to meet the needs of large units of production of gasoline and aromatic compounds.
