Traditional Oil Refineries: The Old Fashioned Way

• The traditional Oil Refineries process Crude Oil fractional distillation to produce a variety of subproducts, such as LPG, Gasoline, Kerosene, Diesel Oil, Heavy Fuel Oil, Asphalt, etc. using their varying boiling points. These subproducts which can be used directly as fuels, enhance the economic value of the crude oil.

• Traditional Oil Refineries typically process from one hundred thousand to several hundred thousand barrels of crude oil per day. This means that a huge amount of crude oil has to be transported from the oil wells to the refineries with great transportation costs under hazardous conditions along the way.

• The large scale and complexity of a traditional Oil Refinery and the associated hazards make it very hard to be able to site and build a brand new large refinery because of its relatively high cost and environmental impact.

• They use a relatively high amount of process and cooling water which turns into wastewater that has to be treated before discharging to waterways, adding to the cost. There is an increasing amount of cost involved in attenuating air emissions and solid waste to comply with ever tighter regulations. As a result, no major refinery has been built in the USA since Marathon’s Garyville, Louisiana, refinery was installed in 1976 and many others have been closed.

Modular Oil Refineries: The Modern Way:

• New modular pre-fabricated design meeting ASME, ANSI, API, FM USA-EPA and World Bank standards.

• Tailored to each client’s application, can be sited next to oil wells minimizing transportation cost.

• Modular Refineries are air cooled. Do not need cooling water.

• Gases produced are used to fuel the distillation process instead of flared, minimizing the environmental effect.

• Reduce installed cost, time required for permitting, shipping, erection, installation and commissioning.

• Modular Refineries are assembled and tested at the factory, taken apart and shipped. No field welding required, everything is flanged.

Modular Oil Refineries: The Modern Way:• Modular Refineries take advantage of state-of-the-art

process techniques to automatically control the amount of each desired subproduct according to the needs of the client.

• Modular Refineries can be sited to optimize the production of fuels that can be used in diesel engines and gas turbines for distributed electrical power generation.

• Modular Refineries require a minimum amount of operating personnel since their automatic operation can be monitored and controlled remotely through a SCADA system and the operators digitally alerted of any alarms.

• Modular Refineries can be installed in a short time without welding to coincide with the start of exploitation of oil wells.

• They can be operational within 4 hours after a cold start.

Modular Oil Refinery Yields

• Our Modular Oil Refineries offer subproduct yields depending on its configuration for the desired subproducts based on the specifications of the Crude Oil being used.

• For example, the following chart shows the subproduct yield for a 20,000 Barrels per Day Modular Refinery with a ADU/VDU/CRU/HDS processing heavy Crude from Ecuador to maximize the production of high octane Gasoline and low Sulfur Diesel 2 (less than 400 parts per million). In this case, Off Gas and LPG are used in the distillation process, Kerosene is used for reinjection back into the oil well to help the flow of the heavy crude oil, Heavy Fuel Oil is used for electrical power generation and asphalt for roadway construction.

We can provide the following Modular Oil Refining Process Units:

• ATMOSPHERIC DISTILLATION UNIT (ADU) - separates the different fractions of the crude oil according to boiling range into naphtha, kerosene, diesel, and residuum products. it operates at less than 15 psig.

• VACUUM DISTILLATION UNIT (VDU) - performs the same function as an ADU, but operates at a pressure of less than zero psig. it produces products like marine fuel oil (MDO) and asphalt from the ADU residuum (heavy fuel oil).

• CATALYTIC REFORMER UNIT (CRU) - produces high octane gasoline from naphtha.

• HYDRODESULFURIZATION UNIT (HDS) - removes sulfur and other impurities from naphtha and distillate fuels.

• HYDROCRACKER UNIT (HCU) - produces naphtha, kerosene, and diesel from heavy feedstocks like VDU distillates.

• DESALTER - removes salt from crude oil prior to distillation to prevent fouling and corrosion.

• SPLITTER/STABILIZER - separates a feedstock into two products.

• FLARE - combusts any excess vapor released by process equipment.

We can supply the following Modular Gas Processing Components:

• FIELD COMPRESSION SYSTEM - raises the gas pressure from the

well heads to the pressure required for gas transmission.• AMINE TREATER - removes hydrogen sulfde (H2S) and carbon

dioxide (CO2) from the gas stream. Amine gas treating, also known as gas sweetening and acid gas removal, refers to a group of processes that use aqueous solutions of various amines.

• GLYCOL DEHYDRATOR removes enough water to prevent freezing during transmission or processing. Design pressures are available from 230 psig to 2,160 psig.

• MOLE SIEVE DEHYDRATOR removes all of the water from a gas stream. this unit is used when the gas is processed to very low temperatures (less than -40 F).

• NATURAL GAS PROCESSING PLANT removes natural gas liquids (ngls) from a gas stream. the gas is cooled until the desired ngls condense. the raw natural gas must be purified to meet the quality standards specified by the major pipeline transmission and distribution companies. these quality standards vary by pipeline and are usually a function of the pipeline system design and the markets served.

• NGL FRACTIONATOR recovers ngls by distillation in demethanizing, deethanizing, depropanizing, and debutanizing fractionation columns. Each fractionation column removes a component from the ngl stream.

• FLARE combusts any excess vapor released by process equipment.

• CLAUS UNIT recovers elemental sulfur from H2S 13

POLYMER MODIFIED ASPHALT

Polymer-modified asphalt (PMA) is produced through the addition of a polymer (and usually several other chemical components in smaller amounts) to liquid hot base asphalt. The purpose of producing PMA is to provide asphalt that meets the new Superpave requirements, with added strength and flexibility at a wider temperature range than non-modified asphalt.

Chemex has extensive expertise in PMA blending for a wide variety of applications. Our design flexibility will reflect your company's needs regarding key design parameters such as capacity, level of automation, equipment preferences, and material handling to ensure complete customer satisfaction.

Our process utilizes proprietary technology and the most recent developments in formulation and equipment configuration. Our design can be highly automated to allow blending of a wide variety of polymers into a wide variety of asphalt base stocks. Our process has the flexibility to minimize modifier and operating costs while maximizing product value.

Chemex PMA system advantages are as follows:

Proprietary Design - Chemex's formulation technology and mechanical design provide the highest flexibility and efficiency available by minimizing the quantity of polymer and/or additives required to meet specification requirements.

• Flexibility – Chemex's equipment configuration allows for a PMA plant capable of blending up to 15% of polymer concentrates into a wide variety of asphalt base stocks, with operating viscosities of up to 8,000 centistokes.

• Chemex equipment can be designed to process from 250 to 1400 tons per day of PMA, while heating the asphalt to the required mix temperature.

• Automated Process - The Chemex design controls the polymer addition rate automatically, maintaining the desired polymer concentration based on the asphalt flow rate into the mixing tank. Chemex's automated process provides improved metering and regulation versus manual versions.

• Thorough Polymer Dispersion - Chemex's process incorporates a combination of high temperature, high-shear mixing, and automation that provide a thoroughly dispersed polymer.

• Avoiding Phase Separation - The formulations used by Chemex impede phase separation. Both mechanical and chemical measures are used to provide a stable, homogeneous, blended PMA product. Chemex's proprietary design allows the polymer to "network" within the asphalt, creating a homogeneous mixture.

Fabrication

• Our Modular Refineries are designed with skid-mounted modular equipment for placement on concrete slab foundations. With conventional foundation-mounted equipment, each piece of equipment is placed on its individual foundation and welders pipe the equipment together. This “stick-built” method requires longer construction time than Chemex’s modular fabrication.

• Chemex manufactures brand new or refurbished process units in its facilities in Bakersfield, California. We offer clients the option of using refurbished process equipment with a warranty equal to new equipment since using refurbished process equipment can result in substantial cost savings and accelerated completion schedules when compared with new equipment.

• Our equipment is designed to be transported by land or sea to any location. The equipment is fabricated in the same configuration as the process unit site plan. All piping, instruments, and electrical connections are made among the skids and tested. after completion of testing, the equipment is disassembled, packed, shrink-wrapped, and shipped from Bakersfield or from the Port of Houston.

Page 17: Kuai minirefineries

Installation• We can provide personnel to advise the buyer of the final assembly

and construction at each site. We can also provide local project management. When the equipment arrives at the facility site, it is unloaded and set on the concrete slab foundations. Final skid placement and elevations are checked against the drawings and skids are shimmed and adjusted accordingly. After the equipment is in place, assembly of the interconnecting spools begins. The equipment is literally bolted together with very little welding required. The process equipment can usually be assembled and ready to start up within thirty days.

Page 18: Kuai minirefineries

Commissioning and Start-Up• We can provide advisors for the

commissioning of the process equipment. All rotating equipment, instrumentation, and electrical equipment require preparation for operation. Piping is pressure tested and/or vacuum tested. The equipment is purged and made ready for startup by our advisory crew.

Test Run • The twenty-four hour test run confirms the

design of the process equipment. Our advisors advise the operating personnel about the proper operation of the equipment to achieve the intended results.

• We are very proud of our association with SynChem Technologies, LLC, a Subsidiary of Prime Energy & Chemicals, LLC, and manufacturer of the Pulsor™ technology which provides effective, responsible solutions to Heavy Hydrocarbon problems in the global Oil and Gas industry. The Pulsor™ process utilizes proprietary hydrocarbon solvents that are 100% biodegradable, non-toxic, non-corrosive and refinery compatible. These solvents maximize production rates through the removal of paraffin wax and asphaltenes deposits. Their flash point is much higher than competing solvents, providing increased safety and lower transportation cost. They are effective in a wide range of climatic conditions.

• The Pulsor™ Series powerful suite of solvents is designed to solve the problems normally associated with organic deposition (wax and asphaltenes) from down hole activities to refinery operations, and to tackle the environmental and personnel safety challenges that confront today’s oil producers and refinery operators.

• Pulsor™ has been successfully applied in multiple-field applications to enhance production levels and to break down heavy Hydrocarbon compounds in tubular pipes, flow lines and other associated equipment. The products not only act many times faster than competitive solvents but with a greater retention value. These solvents have proven to continue breaking down Hydrocarbon deposits from upstream activities to pipelines and storage tank facilities.

• The Pulsor™ solvents are not only biodegradable, but they are also benign to the refining process, eliminating the need to remove the products prior to the refining process. The Pulsor™ Series Solvents are considered to be refinery friendly in every aspect.

Power Generation

• The main cost over the lifecycle of a Diesel engine or Combustion Turbine Generating Unit by far is the cost of fuel, which can be reduced by installing the generating equipment as close as possible to a Minirefinery to reduce the transportation cost of the fuel.

Page 25: Kuai minirefineries

25

Power Generation• The Diesel distillates and the Heavy Fuel Oil produced in a

modular Minirefinery can be used in electrical power generating plants in several configurations which we can provide on a Turn-Key installed basis.

Page 26: Kuai minirefineries
