Phillips 66 aimed to pivot its Rodeo Refinery away from processing crude oil, instead using a variety of renewable feedstocks to produce lower-carbon transportation fuels. After the conversion, the facility has an initial production capacity of 800 million gallons per year (52,000 barrels per day) of renewable diesel, renewable gasoline, and sustainable aviation fuel.
Renewable fuels from the converted facility will produce up to 1 billion gallons per year (65,000 BPD) and stand to slash lifecycle carbon emissions by an estimated 65%. That’s the equivalent of taking 1.4 million cars off California roads each year.
The project was executed with two work scopes. The first was the greenfield (PTA) portion that included two food grade trains with utilities to treat and purify Fat, Oil, and Grease (FOG) into feed stock that can be processed in hydrocracker trains. The second (IOS) is the revamp of the existing refinery units retained to make fuels.
EDG TECH was selected as the Main Automation Contractor (MAC) for this project.
