石油设备网讯 据安迅思新加坡12月14日消息，意大利埃尼集团、日本生物技术公司Euglena和马来西亚国有能源巨头马来西亚国家石油公司（PETRONAS）周三表示，他们正在共同研究在位于马来西亚南部的边佳兰一体化工厂(PIC)内新建和运营一座生物炼油厂的可能性。
他们在一份联合声明中表示：“三家公司目前正在对拟议项目进行技术和经济可行性评估，预计投资决定将在2023年做出，2025年建成投产。”
该生物炼油厂将毗邻马国油现有的一体化炼油厂和石化生产设施。
该生物炼油厂预计将具有灵活的配置，以最大限度地生产用于飞机的可持续航空燃料(SAF)，以及用于道路车辆、柴油动力火车和海洋运输的氢化植物油(HVO)。
该生物炼油厂预计将有能力处理约65万吨/年的原材料，以生产高达12500桶/天的生物燃料，即SAF、HVO和生物石脑油。
这三家公司表示：“所使用的原材料不会与食物链中的原材料竞争，如用过的植物油、动物脂肪、植物油加工过程中的废物，以及包括中期将探索的微藻油在内的其他生物质。”
计划中的生物炼油厂将使用技术许可方霍尼韦尔UOP的Ecofining工艺，该工艺由埃尼集团与霍尼韦尔UOP合作开发。

Eni, Euglena, PETRonAS studying new biorefinery in Malaysia
Italian producer Eni, Japanese biotech firm Euglena and Malaysian state-owned energy major PETRonAS on Wednesday said that they are jointly studying the possibility of developing and operating a biorefinery at the Pengerang Integrated Complex (PIC) in southern Malaysia.
“The three firms are currently carrying out technical and economic feasibility assessments for the proposed project, with the investment decision expected to be reached by 2023 and the plant targeted to be completed by 2025,” they said in a joint statement.
The biorefinery will be located adjacent to PETRONAS’ existing integrated refinery and petrochemical facilities.
The biorefinery is expected to have a flexible configuration to maximise production of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) for aircraft, as well as hydrogenated vegetable oil (HVO) for on-road vehicles, diesel-powered trains, and marine transportation.
The biorefinery is expected to have the capability to process about 650,000 tonnes/year of raw materials to produce up to 12,500 bbl/day of biofuels, namely SAF, HVO, and bio-naphtha.
“The raw materials to be used will not compete with those in the food chain such as used vegetable oils, animal fats, waste from the processing of vegetable oils, and other biomass including microalgae oils to be explored in the mid-term,” the firms said.
The planned biorefinery will use technology licensor Honeywell UOP’s Ecofining process, which was developed by Eni in cooperation with Honeywell UOP.
