Emerson chosen to automate hydrotreating unit in one of China's largest refineries
The refinery is one of the few locations in China currently able to process sour crude. This hydrotreater modernization investment is the second phase in a five-year plan to upgrade the refinery facilities to increase crude oil processing capacity from 8 to 10 million tons per year (Mtpy), equal to 160,000 to 200,000 barrels per calendar day (bpcd).
