The project is located in Russia and is in the conceptual design and project estimation phase of a modular refinery. Non-binding technical proposals and budget quotes are sought. The feedstock is medium-sulfur crude oil, and the plant is designed for an outdoor temperature range of -40 to +40°C. Preference is given to modular/bulk handling. The scope includes common pressure reduction towers and in-tower components, reactors, separators, pressure vessels, tanks/drums, desalination, filters, tube-in-shell heat exchangers, and modular handling, among other stationary equipment. Process packages, FEED, or detailed designs may be provided separately, as may installation guidance, commissioning, and training options. Installation and construction are not included, and Russian customs clearance and certification are the buyer's responsibility. Key equipment involves full vacuum to medium-high pressure and temperatures up to approximately 400°C. Heat exchangers are referenced to TEMA/API 660, and corrosion-resistant solutions may involve NACE and 316L composite or lining. The partner must have the capability to design, manufacture, test, and certify stationary refinery equipment and must be able to submit data tables, manufacturing boundaries, and pricing assumptions.

Russia is in the pre-feasibility/conceptual design and CAPEX preliminary assessment stage for a deep-processed vegetable oil project. The proposed facility will include a 10,000-tonne-per-year C12-C14 high-grade fatty alcohol unit, co-producing stearic acid and distilled/pharmaceutical-grade glycerol. The process encompasses oil hydrolysis, fatty acid fractionation and esterification, methyl ester hydrogenation, methanol recovery, fatty alcohol refining, stearic acid granulation, and glycerol evaporation/distillation. We are currently soliciting proposals for: - Process package and technology route comparison - Basic/detailed design - Supply of main and auxiliary equipment - Piping, electrical instrumentation, and automation - Installation guidance - Pre-commissioning, commissioning, and performance testing - Training Hydrogenation options include high-pressure stirred reactors, liquid-phase fixed-bed, and low-pressure gas-phase fixed-bed routes. Key parameters such as hydrogen balance, sunflower seed oil pretreatment, downstream surfactant unit boundaries, and final product specifications remain to be confirmed. Collaborators must have proven track records in similar oil chemical projects, hydrogenation, and vacuum distillation, along with capabilities in license coordination, compliance with Russian/EAEU regulations and GOST/TR CU standards, EAC certification, and EPC interface management.
