KBR’s ROSE™ Technology Selected for Eni’s Sannazzaro Refinery
HOUSTON, Texas - Eni will utilize KBR’s ROSE™ Solvent Deasphalting Process at its refinery located in Sannazzaro dè Burgundi, Italy. The new ROSE unit will deasphalt over 15,000 barrels per steam day (BPSD) of petroleum residue. An operational ROSE unit is also currently being used at Eni's refinery in Livorno, Italy. KBR is the engineering, construction and services subsidiary of Halliburton (NYSE:HAL).
The deasphalted oil (DAO) extracted by the ROSE process at the Sannazzaro refinery will be low in contaminants like sulfur, metals and Conradson carbon (CCR). The DAO will be a premium feed for the refinery’s FCC unit and the asphaltene product will be burned in a partial oxidation unit for the generation of utilities.
"KBR's ROSE technology is the premier solvent deasphalting technology and commands over 75% of the supercritical solvent deasphalting market," said Tim Challand, KBR’s vice president of technology. "We are pleased to have this opportunity to further expand the use of our ROSE technology in Italy."
KBR's ROSE technology is used by refineries for separating high value deasphalted oil (DAO) from heavy aromatic asphaltenes. The DAO is normally converted into valuable transportation fuels through cracking in FCC or hydroprocessing units. The asphaltene product can be used as fuel or for production of products such as road asphaltene or roof shingles. Alternatively, the asphaltenes can be converted into pellets using KBR's AQUAFORM™ technology.
