科威特国家石油公司Mina炼油厂新建装置投产

据油气在线1月6日报道，科威特国家石油公司（KNPC）位于波斯湾科威特城以南28英里的46.6万桶/日Mina Al-Ahmadi炼油厂开始生产超低硫柴油（ULSD），这是科威特正在进行的KNPC炼油厂清洁燃料项目（CFP）的部分内容。

科威特官方通讯社（KUNA）报道，新的清洁柴油生产装置于2019年12月投产，可生产4.5万桶/日ULSD。

据KUNA称，KNPC公司预计新装置柴油产品中硫含量约为10 ppm。

据运营商向投资者提交的最新可持续发展报告称，新建的ULSD装置是Mina Al-Ahmadi炼油厂计划建设装置之一，这同时也是CFP项目规划及KNPC发展战略的部分内容，其目的是满足国内外市场对更清洁、更可持续燃料日益增长的需求。

KNPC公司曾于2019年9月2日宣布，该公司在科威特南部的米纳阿卜杜拉炼油厂（Mina Abdullah refinery）投产了首套柴油生产装置。随着新建7.3万桶/日U-216装置成功投产，及在建的U-116装置完工后，Mina Abdullah炼油厂的ULSD产量将达到14.6万桶/日。

根据科威特2030年发展战略，CFP项目除了涉及提高Mina Abdullah炼油厂和Mina Al-Ahmadi炼油厂的原油加工能力外，还包括将多家炼油厂整合成加工能力为80万桶/日的综合型炼厂，以促进该国炼油业及和制造业的发展，并对炼油厂进行升级改造，以生产符合欧5标准的清洁燃烧。
