Saudi Aramco, Petronas JV restarts Malaysian crude distillation unit

18/08/2019 Argaam

 

Pengerang Refining and Petrochemical (PRefChem), a joint venture (JV) between Petronas and Saudi Aramco, has restarted the crude distillation unit (CDU) at its oil refinery in Malaysia, Reuters reported, citing an email from Petronas on Saturday.

 

"We confirm that the refinery has started feeding crude to its CDU earlier this week in efforts to restart the plant," the email said.

 

The Pengerang Refining development, part of Petronas' $27 billion Pengerang Integrated Complex, consists of a 300,000 barrels per day (bpd) oil refinery and a petrochemical complex with a production capacity of 7.7 million tons per year in the southern Malaysian state of Johor.

 

The project, originally known as RAPID, or Refinery and Petrochemical Integrated Development, was shut in April after a fire damaged its atmospheric residue desulphurisation (ARDS) unit.

 

Petronas said the ARDS is scheduled to come back online in 2020.
