HOUSTON, Mar. 22 -- Holly Corp., Dallas, has let a $53 million engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) services contract to Benham Constructors for a gas oil mild hydrocracker at its 26,000 b/cd Woods Cross, Utah, refinery.

The new unit will have a capacity of 15,000 b/d of gas oil. The unit is a major component of an expansion project at the refinery and, when combined with the desalting equipment, will expand the facility's crude processing capabilities to 31,000 b/d enabling the refinery to process a wider slate of crude oils.

Holly recently awarded the license and process design package of the unit to Process Dynamics Inc. (OGJ, Mar. 19, 2007, Newsletter).
