NEXTCHEM to upgrade and expand the capacity of the Heydar Aliyev Oil Refinery
MAIRE announces that NEXTCHEM, through its subsidiary NextChem Tech, has been awarded by SOCAR two contracts to upgrade and expand the capacity of the Heydar Aliyev Oil Refinery (HAOR) industrial complex in Baku, Azerbaijan.
NextChem Tech will conduct a technological assessment and deliver a process design package to upgrade the existing sulphur recovery unit (SRU) with oxygen enriched air, a cost-effective and flexible solution for expanding the current sulphur production capacity. Additionally, NextChem Tech will provide the licensing and the process design package based on its proprietary NX SulphuRecTM technology for a new SRU and outstanding recovery efficiency.
NX SulphuRecTM is a comprehensive portfolio of proprietary sulphur recovery technologies, based on the integration of modified claus and tail gas treatment processes, which represent the most effective and widely used sulphur recovery configuration worldwide. These solutions are aimed at reducing the environmental impact of acid and sour gases produced during the refining process. MAIRE leverages on a leading position and a strong track record in this segment, having successfully applied this technology in hundreds of projects worldwide.
Alessandro Bernini, CEO of MAIRE, commented: “These awards confirm the mutually beneficial relationship with SOCAR to develop Azerbaijan’s natural resources transformation activities. We are eager to further support the upgrade of the Baku HAOR complex with our technologies that ensure the highest environmental standards.”
