Pemex contracts SENER, Samsung on clean diesel at Salamanca refinery
2/18/2015 12:00:00 AM
The Salamanca refinery, run by state-owned petroleum company Pemex, is located in the Mexican state of Guanajuato.
As part of their modernization plan to produce clean fuels, Pemex initially awarded Samsung the contract work in September 2014.
As a result of this agreement, SENER will perform the detailed engineering for the modernization of units already in place and their integration with facilities outside battery limits.
SENER says it was awarded taking into account its excellent work in a previous project involving the hydrodesulfurization units at PEMEX’s Tula and Salamanca oil refineries.
In those projects, SENER says it performed the basic and extended basic engineering. The company has previously worked on other important industry projects such as the combined cycle plant Agua Prieta II, the TG-8 Madero oil refinery co-generation project, the CYDSA co-generation plants, the Frontera and Los Ramones compression stations, the Alpek 95 MW co-generation facilities in Cosoleacaque in Veracruz and the fluid catalytic cracking unit in the La Cangrejera petrochemical plant, also for PEMEX.
This is the first contract SENER has signed with Samsung Mexico, and it will allow the company to be a part of one of Pemex's biggest current projects.
