Axens (Rueil-Malmaison, France; www.axens.net) announced that the Bangchak Petroleum Public Co. Ltd. will use Axens’ reforming technology and catalysts for its Energy, Efficiency and Environment Improvement Project in Bangkok.
The project consists in a grassroots Octanizing unit (CCR Reforming unit for gasoline production) with a design capacity of about 12,000 bbl/d to produce high-quality reformate, a blend component for high-octane gasoline.
The relationship between the refinery and Axens started more than 30 years ago with a semi-regenerative reforming unit, hydro treating unit for gasoline and diesel, etc. More recently, it has continued with projects linked to the production of clean fuels and impurities removal.
