SIMECO S.p.A. has been recently awarded by SASOL ITALY a contract for the execution of the feasibility study for the revamping of the n-paraffins production plant at Sasol Italy Augusta (SR) site.
The main goals of the project are the reduction of CO2 emissions, in line with SASOL’s strategy of promoting decarbonization up to the “zero carbon emission” ambition in 2050, and the reduction of production costs.
The project includes:
- installation of new electric exchangers to replace most of the fossil fuels, currently used in the process heaters, with renewable electricity produced by a new photovoltaic plant;
- revamping of the n-Paraffins production plant, by replacing several existing equipment with new and more efficient ones, in order to reduce energy consumption and production costs.
The project demonstrates the commitment of SASOL towards the highest decarbonization targets and represents a further significant accomplishment for SIMECO as a qualified supplier of engineering and consultancy services to SASOL as well as a front-running firm in the field of energy transition.
