Antwerp Refinery
Location: Antwerp
Operator: ExxonMobil Refining & Supply
Configuration: 130-MW 9001E gas turbine CHP
Operation: 2009
Fuel: natural gas
HRSG supplier: CMI
T/G supplier: GE
Quick facts: Antwerp Refinery is the second largest ExxonMobil refinery in Europe with a capacity of 305,000 bpd. The electricity from the new CHP facility is sufficient to meet the power needs of the Antwerp Refinery and about 85% of the electricity demand of other ExxonMobil installations in Belgium. In addition to generating steam, the cogeneration facility utilizes heat from the gas-turbine exhaust to heat crude oil, the first step in the process of converting crude oil into refined products. Due to site layout limitations, the HRSG had to be built on the roof of the GT enclosure.
