West Africa Energy Corridor - Coastal Refinery

This large-scale industrial facility was fully designed and constructed to meet the growing energy demand of West Africa and to process crude oil extracted from offshore fields in accordance with international standards. Due to confidentiality agreements, the exact location of this strategic project remains undisclosed; however, its core production capability is defined by;

State-of-the-art atmospheric and vacuum distillation units with a daily crude oil processing capacity of 100,000 barrels.

Given the project’s location directly on the Atlantic coastline, ground conditions and aggressive marine corrosion posed significant engineering challenges. To support the massive structural loads and prevent settlement;

A reinforced foundation system was constructed using sulfate- and seawater-resistant special concrete, supported by 4,500 bored piles extending to a depth of 30 meters.

Considering the region’s arid climate, seawater was utilized instead of freshwater sources to meet the plant’s substantial cooling requirements. Accordingly;

A closed-loop ocean water circulation system equipped with titanium heat exchangers and a safe thermal discharge system, designed to prevent harm to marine life,

was implemented to ensure high sustainability.

Finally, for the efficient unloading of large crude oil tankers and product vessels, the facility was directly integrated with maritime infrastructure, including;

A 2-kilometer-long deep-water dolphin jetty extending into the open sea, equipped with fully automated loading arms,

ensuring a complete and efficient logistics infrastructure.
