Executive Summary
Fluor provided engineering, procurement and site support services at the former Come By Chance refinery in Newfoundland, Canada. The idled 130,000 barrel-per-day refinery was converted into a renewable fuels facility that will process biomass feedstock, such as soybean oil, into renewable diesel. The facility aims to produce more sustainable fuels in line with North American climate targets.
Client's Challenge
Renamed Braya Renewable Fuels, the refinery announced plans to convert its traditional refining production activities to renewable fuel production as both Canada and the United States worked to reduce carbon emissions. The refinery planned to produce renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), which will help decarbonize hard-to-abate sectors like air travel that are key to economic activity.
The schedule was a key driver for the project. To meet time-to-market goals, Braya needed a contractor with strong experience performing heavy revamp renewable work. Our successful accelerated start-up of a similar project during the COVID-19 pandemic gave Braya confidence in Fluor's project delivery.
Fluor's Solution
Fluor was selected to perform engineering, procurement and site support services. Our scope included converting the existing hydrocracker and diesel hydrotreater to process renewable feedstocks as well as validating the flare system.
Once complete, the facility would have a 14,000+ BPSD two-stage renewable unit with soybean oil, used cooking oil and tallow feedstocks. We delivered to a fast-tracked schedule, helping advance renewable fuel production as demand increased in North America.
Conclusion
Production started in 2024 with several expansion projects planned over the next two to five years.
