CB&I has designed and built thousands of process units for the global refining industry covering more than half a century. Our hydrotreating projects include more than 30 units around the world that range in capacity from a few hundred barrels per day up to more than 50,000 barrels per day.

We deliver hydrotreaters that effectively, reliably and safely remove contaminants from hydrocarbon streams, ensuring that our customers can upgrade their fuels to meet stringent specifications. Typical hydrotreating applications include nitrogen removal and aromatic saturation of various hydrocarbon streams. Typical desulfurization applications include sulfur removal from naphtha, gasoline, kerosene, jet fuel, diesel fuel and lube oil streams.

Our fully integrated lump-sum, turnkey EPC services include process design, feasibility studies, computer simulations, environmental consulting, turnkey design-build construction, commissioning, startup assistance, and operator training. By fabricating most of the equipment in our wholly owned and operated fabrication shops, we provide superior quality control, safety, and installation efficiency. Our projects have included new process units, retrofits, revamps and debottlenecking of existing facilities.

Our construction methodolgoy. Our projects are successful because we develop and implement a complete construction execution plan that addresses all key project activities. Our years of experience in fixed-price supply leads to aggressive schedules and work plans to meet the needs of our customers. We execute projects using both modular and conventional “stick-built” construction, and we evaluate both options for each project in order to provide the best value to our customer.

Providing maximum prefabrication and modularization of process plants of one of our key competencies. We pioneered the concept of process plant modularization over 50 years ago and are known for our proven modularization techniques. Assembling most of the process unit at our in-house facilities, under controlled conditions, has several benefits. Modular construction minimizes delays due to inclement weather and allows tasks such as fabrication, permitting and transportation arrangements to be handled concurrently. By fabricating components in our shops, we can minimize the impact of the project on the customer's other operations and ensure all work is performed according to our exacting quality and safety standards. In addition, modular construction requires less high-skilled labor at the installation site, which can result in lower labor costs.

Single-source responsibility with fixed-price contracting is the foundation of our ability to create value and even allows us to offer cost savings to our customers. That’s why our clients include nearly every major oil producing and refining company in the world.
