TUPRAS Selects Merichem Technologies for jet fuel and spent caustic treatment
Turkish Petroleum Refining Corp. (TUPRAS) has selected Merichem Co. to provide multiple technologies for the treatment of kerosene/jet fuel as well as technology for on-site treatment of associated spent caustic at the company’s refinery in Izmir, Turkey .
Having already completed basic engineering, Merichem will now provide proprietary hardware and licensing for its NAPFINING, MERICAT II and AQUAFINING technologies for treatment of the 22,643 bpd hydrocarbon stream to meet jet fuel specifications. These technologies are based on Merichem’s proprietary, non-dispersive FIBER-FILM contactor. Merichem will also provide basic engineering, modular supply of equipment, and licensing for its spent caustic neutralization technology for treatment of up to 1.6 m3/hour of spent caustic ahead of the existing wastewater treatment plant. This technology is based on Merichem’s more than 60 years’ experience in treating spent caustic solutions at its own facilities in the US.
