Modular
Refineries
Clients choose what
equipment will be new, used
or rebuilt. Chemex engineers
can mix and match the
processing units to build the
refinery or gas processing
plant you need. Chemex has
constructed or modified 56
modular refineries and gas
plants since 1974.
Chemex equipment is
designed to be transported by land or sea to any location. The equipment is fabricated in
the same configuration as the process unit site plan. All piping, instruments, and electrical
connections are made among the skids and tested. After completion of testing, the equipment
is disassembled, packed, shrink-wrapped, and shipped.
A crude oil plant or atmospheric distillation unit (ADU) is the first step in the refining process. The products derived from an ADU include naphtha, kerosene, diesel and ADU residuum. Naphtha can be mixed with ethanol or other octane boosters and used as a motor gasoline. Kerosene can be used as a jet fuel if treated and blended with additives. Diesel can be
used as fuel if it meets required sulfur specifications. ADU residuum may be used as a burner
fuel or further refined in a vacuum unit to produce marine diesel. Under certain circumstances naphtha and ADU residuum can be remixed and put back into a crude supply to be delivered as part of a crude stream. Chemex crude oil topping plants come in a variety of sizes
from 500 bpd to 20,000 bpd. The equipment can operate at a 1/2 capacity. For larger capacity
refineries, multiple ADUs can be combined to achieve higher throughput requirements.
Allen Refining Consortium
Atmospheric Distillation unit (ADU) Separates the different fractions of the
crude oil according to boiling range into
naphtha, kerosene, diesel, and residuum
products. It operates at less than fifteen
psig.
Vacuum Distillation Unit (VDU) – Produces asphalt, and marine diesel fuel
(MDO) from heavy fuel oil (HFO).
Hydrodesulfurization Unit (HDS) – Removes sulfur compounds from distillate
products.
Catalytic Reformer Unit (CRU) – For
producing high-octane motor gasoline
from naphtha.
Hydrocracker Unit (HCU) – Increases
diesel production from heavier products.
Desalter – Removes salt from crude oil
prior to distillation to prevent fouling
and corrosion.
Splitter/Stabilizer– Separates a feedstock into two products.
Flare – Combusts excess vapor released by process equipment.
Asphalt Equipment
Chemex manufactures the following modular equipment for asphalt manufacturing:
-- Polymer-modified Asphalt (PMA) Plant mixes polymers and usually several other chemical
components into liquid hot base asphalt. The purpose of producing PMA is to provide asphalt
that meets the new superpave requirements with added strength and flexibility and a wider
temperature range than non-modified asphalt.
-- Cutback Blender blends asphalt with a hydrocarbon (naphtha, kerosene, or diesel) to produce a less viscous product than straight asphalt. The lighter fraction evaporates with time
leaving the base asphalt.
-- Oxidizer or Blow Still oxidizes asphalt
by chemically reacting oxygen with asphalt.
Oxidation changes the asphalt properties
to meet the requirements of the finished
product specifications.
-- Asphalt Emulsion Plant produces asphalt emulsions containing approximately
70% asphalt mixed with 30% water and
chemicals. Cationic and anionic are the two
types of emulsion with different affinity
for aggregates based on the ion charge.

Oil and Gas Division
Oil and gas companies depend on clean,
quality water for recovery, exploration
and production in the field. For example,
many need ultra-soft water for oil field
steam generators and boilers, to reduce
scaling and protect their equipment. Culligan Matrix Solutions® uses patented technology to facilitate recovery processes
and help lengthen the lifespan of steam
generators and other types of equipment,
leading to accelerated revenue capture.
Water Treatment for Oil Field Steam Injection
Oil and gas companies depend on clean water for oil field steam injection. Modules from
the Culligan Matrix Solutions product arsenal, including filters and softeners can be used to
decrease hardness and other contaminants in the raw water supply. Pre-treatment filters and
softening can reduce scaling and pro-long the life of equipment. For instance, Culligan was
tapped to provide a custom engineered system for an Oil Sands Project in Alberta, Canada.
Our customer required ultra soft water for the steam generators in their bitumen and heavy
oil recovery processes. Culligan proposed a solution including a 10’ x 40’ skid-mounted; PLC
controlled four tank duplex alternative softener system producing 50 GPM influent to the
steam generators. Pre-treatment filters ahead of the softener system were used to reduce
sediments in the raw water supply.
Allen Refining Consortium
Process Water Treatment
In oil recovery, exploration and production, treating process water can lead to significant cost savings and accelerated revenue capture. For instance,
treating boiler feed water make-up with a reverse
osmosis system from the Culligan Matrix Solutions
arsenal can reduce dissolved solids. This will enable the boiler to operate at more cycles of concentration, thus reducing the blow down and make-up
water requirements. Reduced make-up and blow
down results in direct energy and chemical savings. Other technologies in the Culligan Matrix that
could be used to treat process water include softening, microfiltration, ultra-filtration, nano-filtration, portable exchange deionization and continuous electro deionization.
Wastewater Minimization
Today, stringent local and national discharge requirements are creating a need for overall onsite
water management and wastewater minimization. These new demands at times require water
system modifications, equipment retrofits, or system replacements to enable refineries to
minimize the use of water and wastewater. With our comprehensive discovery process and
consultative approach, we can design a solution that meets your overall onsite water management and wastewater minimization needs.
Culligan International Overview
-- Global provider of residential, commercial, industrial and municipal water
treatment systems with comprehensive
portfolio of water treatment products and
services, unique products / technologies,
complex problem water solutions, complete after-market service support, and a
highly recognizable brand name with 75
