The Motiva refinery produces approximately 2,000 tons per day of petroleum coke as a by-product. The coke is gasified using twin train 900 ft3 Texaco Process gasifiers to fuel two 90 MW General Electric 6F combustion turbines and two heat recovery steam generators that supply 530,000 lb/hr 1250# steam to 55 MW of existing steam turbines. The refinery’s excess electric power is sold to the power grid.
The project scope also included acid gas removal, coke slurry feed, air separation units that supply oxygen to the process, solids handling, and common facilities and utilities.
