Balikpapan and Lawe-Lawe RDMP
The RDMP expands crude processing capacity from 260,000 to 360,000 barrels per day and improves refinery complexity, product value, and national energy security.
Operations
Refinery expansion, cleaner products, stronger reliability.
The Balikpapan RDMP raises capacity from 260 kbpd to 360 kbpd and improves product quality from Euro II toward Euro V standards.
Cleaner gasoline, LPG, and propylene output
Residual Fluid Catalytic Cracking
RFCC technology helps process heavier refinery streams into higher value products, including Euro V gasoline with RON 92 target quality.
23.4MW high speed compressor application
Power Recovery and Compressor Reliability
The SSS case study describes a power recovery turbine, SSS clutch, axial air compressor, and steam turbine arrangement supporting operational flexibility around the FCC compressor train.
Technology Case Study
FCC compressor train with recoverable power.
The SSS Gears case study describes a Balikpapan FCC train arranged as Power Recovery Turbine, SSS Clutch, Axial Air Compressor, and Steam Turbine. The 23.4MW, 140T Encased clutch application supports flexibility when the power recovery turbine requires maintenance.
The design helps the compressor train continue running with the secondary driver when the power recovery turbine is offline, limiting the risk of refinery interruption around a high-value FCC unit.
