HOUSTON, Apr. 17 -- PetroChina Sichuan has awarded a contract to Chevron Lummus Global to provide residual desulfurization (RDS) technology to the new processing facility in Pengzhou County, Chengdu City, Sichuan Province, China.
The RDS unit will process 3 million tonnes/year of resid and vacuum gas oil for pretreatment to a resid fluid catalytic cracker. The RDS unit will employ CLG's upflow reactor technology, an advanced guard bed technology that minimizes pressure drop buildup in the guard bed.
The facility will be designed to process heavy crudes and will meet modern environmental and industrial standards.
