As part of the Joint Development Programme undertaken with Maersk Line to develop and test all aspects of the use of Marine MSAR® as a bunker fuel, i.e. production, quality control, storage, loading & bunkering, a MSAR® Manufacturing Unit (MMU) was installed in 2016 at Cepsa’s 240kbpd Refinery Gibraltar San Roque (RGSR). The facility was installed to enable the production and supply of MSAR® for consumption on the Seago Istanbul, a Maersk vessel undergoing routine activities.
PROJECT SCOPE
The MSAR® facility utilised a modular 6,000bpd MSAR® system and was fully integrated in to the existing refinery systems.
