Summary Information

* Ownership: BP
* Website: http://www.bp.com/
* List of [[[BP Refineries]]]
* Wiki Page: [[[Whiting Refinery]]]
* Location: Whiting, Indiana, USA
* Capacity: million tons/annum & bbl/day
* Nelson Complexity:
* Project Stage: Under Construction
* Expected Completion: [[[Refinery Projects to be Completed in 2013 | 2013]]]
* Budget: $3 billion

+++ The Project

* Project Type: A major upgrade to enable the refinery to use ultra heavy Canadian crude
* Project Summary:
* Environmental Improvements: the Modernization Project includes $1.4 billion in environmental improvements.
* Gas Oil Hydrotreater: a modern hydrotreater will remove more sulfur and nitrogen from gas oil.
* Sulfur Recovery Complex: the existing sulfur recovery capabilities are being enhanced to create a more efficient system that will remove more sulfur from our fuels product streams.
* Petroleum Coker: a new state-of-the-art coker is being built to replace the existing one. The coker will enhance process safety through increased automation, increase coke and naphtha production.
* Distillation Unit: the refinery’s largest crude distillation unit is being reconfigured to process heavier crudes, helping to replace some of the light sweet crude that is becoming more difficult to source.
* Main Contractors
* **Jacobs:** licensing, design, and fabrication of Sulfur Recovery Facilities.
* **Jacobs:** The revamp of several hydroprocessing units
* **Praxair** is supplying the hydrogen from a purpose made facility
* **Emerson:** Process automation

+++ Refining Units

* Atmospheric Distillation
* Petroleum Coker
* Gas Oil Hydrotreater
* Sulfur Recovery

+++ Terminal Capacity

* Crude Oil:
* Refined Products:

+++ Crude Supply

* The refinery’s largest crude distillation unit is being reconfigured to process heavier crudes
* These crudes will be largely sourced from Canada

+++ Products Produced

* The project will increase the refinery's ability to produce clean fuels

+++ History

* 2006 - Project launched
* 2008 - After necessary permits were issued, BP began construction on the Whiting Refinery Modernization Project.
* 2012 - BP Agrees to Add More Than $400 Million in Pollution Controls at Indiana Refinery and Pay $8 Million Clean Air Act Penalty
* 2013 - New crude unit comes on stream
* 2013 - All units have been successfully commissioned

+++ Other Information
