HOUSTON, Apr. 3 -- Giant Industries Inc., Scottsdale, Ariz., has selected ConocoPhillips technology for a 30,000 b/d sulfur removal unit for its 58,900 b/cd Yorktown refinery in York County, Va.

The S Zorb SRT unit will desulfurize gasoline blendstocks. The unit's design will allow for a flexibility of feedstocks from a variety of refinery sources, including light coker naphtha.

The project, which will be managed by D-CôK LLC, a subsidiary of Triten Corp., Houston, is slated for start-up in 2007.
