Process Functionality
CONDENSATE FRACTIONATION PLANT (CFP)
Preheat the crude feed utilizing recovered heat from the product streams. Heat the crude condensate to the desired temperature using fired heaters Flash the crude in the atmospheric distillation column Utilize pump around cooling loops to create internal liquid reflux Product draws are on the top, Middle and bottom side.
Naphtha Hydro treating Process:
To remove contaminants (Sulfur, Nitrogen, Oxygen and metals) and saturate olefins and Aromatic to produce a clean product for further processing of finished product Sales.
Primary Process Technique
Hydrogenation occurs in a fixed catalyst bed to improve H/HC ratios and to remove Sulfur, nitrogen and metals
Primary Process Technique
Hydrogenation occurs in a fixed catalyst bed to improve H/HC ratios and
to remove Sulfur, nitrogen and metals
Process Step
- Feed is preheated using the reactor effluent
- Hydrogen is combined with the feed and heated to the desired hydro treating
- Temperature raised by a fired heater
- Feed and hydrogen is passed downward in a hydrogenation reactor packed with various types of catalyst.
- Reactor effluent is cooled and enters the high-pressure separator which separates the liquid hydrocarbon from the effluent.
- Acid gases are absorbed from the hydrogen in the absorber.
Catalytic Reforming Process
To convert low-octane naphtha to a high-octane reformate for gasoline blending and to provide aromatics (benzene, toluene and xylene). Reforming also produces high purity hydrogen for hydro treating process
- Naphtha Feeds and recycle hydrogen are mixed, heated and sent through successive reactor beds.
- Hydrogen isEach pass requires heat input to drive the reactionscombined with the feed and heated to the desired hydro treating
- Final pass effluent is separated with the hydrogen being recycled or purged for hydro treating
- Reformate products can be further processed to separate aromatic components or be used for gasoline blending.
Our Capacities
Aqua Refinery Limited or better known by its acronym, ARL, is working towards becoming a leading manufacturer of petroleum products.
Aqua Refinery Ltd. Plans to Established a Catalytic Reforming Unit (CRU) to produce Octane, LPG and other Fuel gas from local & imported raw materials like Gas condensate, Naphtha, Motor Sprit to fulfill demand of Octane, LPG and others products which are in high demand in Bangladesh. LPG will be obtained as a by products
The industrial processing plant transforms & refines raw materials such as natural gas condensate (NGC) into more Diesel, kerosene, motor gasoline and LPG. The brand is one of few Bangladesh where quality is never compromised. Raw materials are sourced from established national organization such as Petro Bangla.
Its Ghorashal refining units is the largest in the district. The entire refinery complex will have a Natural gas condensate (NGC) processing capacity of 6500 BPD.ARL is future ready and can produce gasoline and diesel of any grade.
Total land acquired = 40 Bigha.
