The project entailed replacing all the subassemblies that make up the reformer furnace, the most important and most complex part consisting in changing the 114 vertical tubes that store the catalyst needed for the reforming reaction, according to the report.
“The complexity of the project, which involved hundreds of separate works, will support us in maintaining a high degree of operation of the unit, an absolutely necessary facility for the entire refinery. We maintain our high standard, ensure the production capacity of hydrogen and align ourselves with the general operational plans, established in the Group strategy”, said Florian Daniel Pop, CEO of Rompetrol Rafinare.
