Aramco lets contract for new unit at Riyadh refinery

Saudi Aramco has let a contract to KBR Inc. to provide technology for a supercritical solvent deasphalting (SDA) unit as part of a residue upgrading and clean fuels project at its 126,000-b/d refinery in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

KBR will deliver licensing for its proprietary three-product SDA ROSE technology, including basic engineering design and proprietary equipment for the new unit, which will be designed to meet Aramco's specific objectives for the project, the service provider said on Apr. 1.

The project comes as part of Aramco’s strategy to comply with the new International Marine Organization (IMO) fuel regulations that take effect in January 2020, KBR said.

KBR disclosed neither a value of the contract nor a specific timeframe for the project’s completion.
