HOUSTON, Nov. 21 -- ConocoPhillips plans to install its S Zorb sulfur removal technology (SRT) at its 306,000 b/d Wood River, Ill., refinery.

ConocoPhillips will convert a kerosine hydrotreater into an S Zorb SRT unit for gasoline streams. The 32,000 b/d unit is to be completed in early 2007.

S Zorb SRT units also are planned at Pasadena Refining System Inc.'s 117,000 b/d Pasadena, Tex., refinery and Sinopec Beijing Yanshan Co.'s 162,000 b/cd Yanshan refinery. These units will be the first to be built outside of ConocoPhillips's refining system.
