Following ExxonMobil’s latest update on the successful heavy lift of the reactors and vacuum fractionation tower, the pre-assembled racks (PARs), for the new hydrocracker, have been installed at the Rotterdam refinery.
Manufactured in Spain, the PARs were shipped by water to the Rotterdam refinery during mid-May this year.
Often referred to as the ‘spine’ of the hydrocracker, together, the PARs weigh roughly 2200 t. The heaviest PAR weighed 500 t and its installation marked the completion of the heavy lift portion of the construction campaign. Now that the onsite PARs have been installed, further piping and instrumentation work can commence.
