Fluor was one of several companies forming a unique alliance with BP, enabling it to play its part in the Southeast Queensland Regional Air Quality Strategy.
Fluor provided the conceptual design and worked in alliance with the licensee and BP on the front-end engineering for the hydrocracker for the project. The hydrocracker added hydrogen to heavier hydrocarbons to break the long organic chemical chains into the shorter chains of the transport fuels, separating out the sulphur impurities in the process. A hydrogen generation unit, an air separation unit, and a cogeneration unit were also installed. Modifications were made to the vacuum distillation, amine treating, sulphur recovery, existing crude distillation, and residue cracking units. Sulphur removed at the refinery was recycled as a raw material for other industries.
