LINEAR ALKYL BENZENE (LAB) is a Sonatrach petrochemical project for the construction of a new production plant in the Skikda industrial zone, Algeria, approximately 350 km east of Algiers. The facility will produce linear alkyl benzene (LAB) with an annual production capacity of 100,000 tonnes.
The expansion and modernization initiative aims to significantly increase the refinery’s petrol production capacity, quadrupling it to 450 thousand tonnes per year. As a part of this project, the Combined Cycle has been revamped to utilize hydrogen generated by the new Platforming unit. Additionally, energy production has been optimized by recycling gas, resulting in a notable reduction in polluting emissions.
The New Port Harcourt Refinery — NPHR is an oil refining facility located in Alesa-Eleme, near Port Harcourt, Nigeria. Part of the Port Harcourt Refinery Complex, the plant has a nameplate capacity of approximately 150,000 bpd.
