ENKA signed contracts with Türkiye Petrol Rafinerileri A.Ş. (TÜPRAŞ) on April 24th, 2024 for the Propylene Splitter Unit Project at the İzmit and İzmir Refineries. ENKA’s scope of work includes detailed engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning and start-up, as well as the necessary additions and modifications to the existing electrical facilities, utilities, and other connections to and from the existing refinery required for integration of the new facility with the existing refinery facilities.
İzmit Refinery
The scope includes a new Propylene Recovery (Splitter) Unit (PRU) and a new 5,000 m3 spherical tank in İzmit TÜPRAŞ Refinery. The new PRU units will be installed downstream of the existing Fluid Catalytic Cracking Process Unit (FCC Unit) with the intent to directly sell the propylene into the open market. The units will be designed to produce polymer grade propylene from the propane/propylene stream produced by the FCC Unit. The capacity is 800 m3/day of feed from the FCC Unit.
