# Hydro-dearomatization Project

![Total Hydro dearomatization Stream Http Handler]()

A green-field hydro-dearomatization (HDA) processing unit

Location: Bayport, Texas, USA 

Operator: Total Petrochemicals and Refining USA Inc. 

Duration: 2012 - 2013 

Scope: FEL-3 and Cost estimating 

#### **Kent was contracted by Total to develop a basic engineering package (FEL-3) for a green-field hydro-dearomatization (HDA) processing unit and associated facilities and utilities at the Bayport, Texas site.** 

Total intends to construct a new green-field HDA processing facility in their existing high-density polyethylene (HDPE) plant site. Kent was contracted to develop the basic engineering package (FEL-3) for the project.

The scope for the project includes:

- HDA processing unit (Total's proprietary technology);
- Cooling tower;
- Hot oil belt furnace;
- Unit feed and product tanks;
- Process sewer systems;
- Outside Battery Limits (OSBL) process and utility tie-ins; and
- Piping and connections to a third-party's pipeline from an adjacent loading terminal.

Kent's services for the basic engineering package (FEL-3) include:

- Develop a lump sum EPC bid inquiry package for the project;
- Provide process support to integrate the HDA unit into the existing facilities;
- Design of piping, piperack connections to a third-party pipeline and sizing;
- Perform flare loading study to ensure existing flare can accommodate the new HDA unit;
- Support early procurement and constructability activities;
- Develop an FEL-3 +/-10% cost estimate; and
- Develop an EPC Level 3 schedule.
