Mina Abdullah Refinery De-hazing Project - Kuwait

	Mina Abdullah refinery

The Mina Abdullah refinery, located 46 km south of Kuwait City directly on the Arabian Gulf currently produces Naphtha, Kerosene, Diesel and Gas Oil.

The gas oil and diesel product is produced while containing approximately 1000 ppm volume of water. Under certain conditions, this water can appear as haze, or mist in the gas oil and diesel products.

The project scope includes the set-up of Moisture Control and De-hazing facilities via utilization of Electrostatic Coalescer.

The project is being executed by Equinox Engineering Ltd‘s international subsidiary Equinox Engineering International Ltd (EEIL) as an EPC contract, worth approximately $50 MM, from Kuwait National Petroleum Company (KNPC) for a major upgrade at its 240,000 bpd Mina Abdullah Refinery

The scope of the project in the main plant area consists of the new equipment and its accessories; Underground facility, Civil, Piping, Mechanical, Structural, Electrical and Instrumentation work within the Plant Battery Limit (IPBL) and in the Offsite area consist of the feed, product, utility lines, etc from the Unit Battery Limit to the existing units / facilities / tank farm, all Civil / Piping / Structural / Mechanical / Electrical and instrumentation work outside of the Plant Battery Limit (OPBL) of Moisture Control and de-hazing facility area.
