DuPont Clean Technologies To Develop Scrubbing Project With BELCO® Technology To Control The Emissions Of Empresa Nacional De Petróleo (ENAP)
The new scrubber will allow the ENAP Refinerías Aconcagua refinery to exceed Chilean emissions targets
Wilmington, DE (PRWEB) - Chilean oil refiner ENAP Refinerías S.A. has selected BELCO® scrubbing technology, licensed by DuPont Clean Technologies (DuPont), to improve emissions control from its 31,449 BPSD fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) unit at the Aconcagua refinery. This new BELCO® wet scrubber will reduce sulfur oxide and particulate emissions from the FCCU (fluid catalytic cracking unit) to well below Chilean emissions requirements. This will be the second BELCO® Scrubber for ENAP. ENAP previously commissioned a BELCO® scrubber for its FCCU at the BioBio refinery in 2018.
