📋 Tender Overview
ScopeBalikpapan refinery located on Borneo Island in East Kalimantan Indonesia is being expanded by its owner PT Pertamina Persero in order to increase its capacity by adding new processing units. The expansion project is part of the IDR246.2trn 17bn Refinery Development Master Plan RDMP programme launched by the Indonesian government to revamp and upgrade five refineries in the country. The facilities to be updated are the Cilacap refinery in Central Java the Balongan refinery in West Java the Dumai refinery in Riau the Balikpapan refinery in East Kalimantan and the Plaju refinery in South Sumatra. The RDMP will improve the countrys energy security as well as increase the production capacity of the refineries by 150. The Balikpapan expansion will see production rise from 260000 barrels per day bpd to 360000bpd and enable the refinery to produce high-quality fuels of Euro V standard. The project will be undertaken in two phases with a total estimated investment of IDR57.8bn 4bn. The first phase is expected to be completed by the end of 2019 while the second phase is targeted for completion in 2021. The Balikpapan refinery expansion project will add a residual fluid catalytic cracker RFCC unit with design capacity of 90000 barrels per stream per day bpsd a liquefied petroleum gas LPG sulphur removal unit a propylene recovery unit and a 80000bpsd middle distillate hydrotreater. There will also be units for naphtha hydrotreating continuous catalytic reforming alkylation kerosene hydrotreating diesel hydrotreating and hydrogen production as well as a steam methane reformer SMR with a capacity of 120000Nmh. Other units planned to be added to the refinery will be an isomerisation unit saturated gas concentration unit GCU amine treater and regenerator as well as caustic and LPG treaters. The new units will be built on 75ha of land. The gasoline produced by the RFCC unit will be processed in a selective hydrogenation unit SHU with a capacity of 48000bpsd using Axens Prime-GTM technology to produce ultra-clean gasoline. The existing vacuum distillation unit VDU crude distillation unit CDU hydrocracker unit HCU and LPG recovery units will also be upgraded as part of the project. The production of Euro V gasoline diesel and LPG will increase respectively by 100000bpd 30000bpd and 930t per day.
