Assiut Hydrocracking
Assiut Hydrocracking Complex
The Assiut Hydrocracking Complex in Egypt, officially known as the Assiut Oil Refining Company (ASORC), is a significant project aimed at enhancing Egypt’s refining capacity and producing higher-quality petroleum products. Here are some key points about the Assiut Hydrocracking Complex:
Location:
It is located near the city of Assiut in Upper Egypt.
Purpose:
The complex is designed to upgrade lower-value petroleum products into higher-value products through a process known as hydrocracking. Hydrocracking involves breaking down heavy oil molecules into lighter, more valuable products such as diesel, jet fuel, and gasoline.
Capacity:
The Assiut Hydrocracking Complex is part of Egypt’s broader strategy to expand its refining capacity. It is aimed at processing heavy crude oils from local fields and improving the quality and quantity of refined products.
EMDAD Scope:
Supply, fabrication and DDP site of steel structure and mechanical equipment for cooling water unit and steam generation unit.
