Sulzer to supply pumps for Guangxi Refinery project in China

Switzerland-based Sulzer Pumps has secured an order to deliver 40 pumps to PetroChina’s Guangxi Oil Refinery Project in the Guangxi Province of Southern China.

The company’s delivery will include 12 pumps for the residue hydrodesulfurisation unit, 18 pumps for the diesel oil hydrotreating unit, and ten pumps for the oil storage and transportation unit and utility unit.

The pumps will be installed in the refinery to enhance its capacity to produce gasoline, diesel, jet fuel and liquefied petroleum gas, and petrochemical products.

Sulzar will manufacture 34 pumps at its advanced facilities located in Suzhou and Dalian, China, while the remaining pumps will be developed in Bruchsal, Germany and packaged in Suzhou.

Guangxi Oil Refinery Project Phase II will refine imported high sulfur crude oil and is expected to begin operations in October 2013.

The plant will have an annual capacity to supply ten million tons of fuels to south western areas of China.

The Guangxi Oil Refinery Project Phase II will include storage facilities for one million tons of aromatic hydrocarbon, oil terminals for three million tons of crude oil and one million tons of oil products.
