Air Products has announced it has been selected to receive $253 million in Phase 2 funding from the United States Department of Energy (DOE) under the Industrial Carbon Capture and Sequestration (ICCS) Program for its ICCS project in Port Arthur. The funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Actfunded ICCS Program will be used for final engineering, design, construction and operation of the project through September 2015. DOE is funding 66% of the approximate $384 million project. Air Products will design, construct and operate a state-of-the-art system to capture carbon dioxide (CO2) from its two steam methane reformers (SMR) located within the Valero Refinery in Port Arthur. The SMRs produce hydrogen to assist in the making of cleaner burning transportation fuels by refinery customers on Air Products' Gulf Coast hydrogen pipeline network. The recovered and purified CO2 would then be transported by Denbury Green Pipeline-Texas, LLC for use in enhanced oil recovery. The CO2 removal units will be designed by Air Products and use technology to be retrofitted to each SMR unit. Approximately one million tons of CO2 annually will be recovered, purified and delivered via the pipeline for injection into Denbury Onshore's enhanced oil recovery projects in Texas. Details on Air Products' CO2 purification technologies can be found at www.airproducts.com/CO2_capture.

The conversion of a catalytic cracking unit to a fluidic catalytic cracking unit started early. During the 56-day overhaul, the refinery's catalytic cracking unit will be converted from a MSCC to a fluidic catalytic cracking unit (FCC). The conversion is expected to cost $310 million. Valero has entered the initial stages of a major turnaround at the refinery. Valero has shut down the FCCU, and maintenance is expected to begin presently. Other units that will be offline during the turnaround include the 49,000-BBL/d diesel hydrotreater, the 60,000-BBL/d gasoline hydrotreater and associated downstream units. Major upgrades are under way on the FCCU to boost capacity and improve catalyst recovery and gasoline yields. CB&I Incorporated is performing engineering and construction work on the upgrade. Valero is also installing NOx-reduction technology on the FCCU. Performance Contractors Incorporated is performing construction on this portion of the FCCU work. As part of the $1.4 billion expansion occurring at the refinery, mechanical and electrical works on the expansion of the refinery's delayed coker unit will kick off this summer. The delayed coker capacity will be increased from 70,000 BBL/d to 80,000 BBL/d. KBR announced that Valero Energy has successfully started up advanced reformate splitters at three of its US refineries. A fourth unit is located at their St. Charles refinery, and will be commissioned later this year.The units were designed to concentrate and remove benzene from gasoline streams in order to meet US regulatory mandates limiting the benzene content of gasoline. Conceptually developed by Valero, the DWC towers were designed and optimized by KBR for each unique project and have allowed Valero to meet their regulatory requirements. Valero restarting expansion. Valero delayed until 2012 the expansion of a crude unit and coker at its refinery, due to poor refining margins. The project would expand crude processing capacity by 45,000 barrels a day and coking capacity by 10,000 barrels a day. The expansion, estimated to cost $250 million, was scheduled for early 2010. Other delayed projects include an upgrade of a catalytic cracker and addition of a hydrocracker at the refinery. Valero in January delayed adding a 50,000 barrel-a-day hydrocracker at St. Charles, a project estimated at $1.25 billion, to 2012 from the end of 2010. It also delayed adding aromatics extraction capability. Valero's board approved a $1.4 billion expansion project, that would boost the plant's crude processing capacity and output of ultra-low-sulfur distillates. The project, which is scheduled to be completed by 2010, includes a new 50,000 b/d hydrocracker plus 45,000 and 10,000 b/d expansions to the crude and coker units, respectively. The St. Charles refinery currently has a crude processing capacity of 190,000 b/d and a total fuel throughput capacity of 250,000 b/d.
