Aramco, Shell to build largest residue gas unit
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 12 - 03 - 2013

RIYADH – Shell Global Solutions International has signed a gasification licensed technology agreement with Saudi Aramco, the fully integrated energy and chemicals company, for the largest residue gasification unit to ever be built.
The Jazan Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle Project (IGCC) agreement includes the licensing of Shell gasification and acid gas removal technologies and the provision of engineering services. Shell's CRI/Criterion catalysts and a sulfur recovery unit (SRU) will also treat the off gases from the acid gas removal unit.
Jazan is to be developed as a new economic city in Saudi Arabia. As part of the development, a new refinery and IGCC is to be built 70km north of the city of Jazan. The IGCC enables the gasification of low-value residue feedstocks to produce syngas for power generation. The generated power will provide electricity for the Jazan refinery and supply within the Kingdom. Shell will now be the supplier of the technology for the largest gas and residue gasification units in the world.
“This agreement further demonstrates Shell's commitment to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. We are enormously proud that Shell's gasification technology was selected for this significant project, which supports an alternative approach to power generation in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and we very much look forward to working alongside Saudi Aramco” said Ed Daniels, executive vice president, Shell Global Solutions.
“With the award of the gasification technology license to Shell Global Solutions for the Jazan IGCC project, we are confident that the Jazan Refinery and Terminal project will progress according to plan,” said Fahad Al-Helal, executive director Project Management, Saudi Aramco.
“This is the first time that gasification technology will be deployed in Saudi Arabia and we believe that Shell Global Solutions' experience as both an owner and operator of this technology will be very beneficial to the Jazan project.”
When it starts operating, Saudi Aramco's Jazan Refinery will process 400,000 barrels per day (bpd) of Arabian Heavy and Arabian Medium crude oil to produce gasoline, ultra-low sulfur diesel, benzene and paraxylene. – Agencies
