RECON - REFINING

ReCon executes a wide range of design and construction projects for clients in the petroleum-refining and gas processing industries primarily focusing on single-unit revamps. The company’s technical experts have experience optimizing the design, procurement, and construction of clients’ distillation, hydroprocessing, FCC, coking, octane enhancement, hydrogen production, and sulfur removal units.

ReCon’s team of process engineers are easily linked with some of the industry’s most renowned specialists.

ReCon’s expertise in the total integration of utility and offsite systems for grassroots and revamped facilities generates cost savings for clients and enhances pre-commissioning and start-up schedules.

ReCon has experience in the emerging bio-fuels market place. ReCon has developed R&D pilot plants and full scale production units of proprietary patent-pending technology to make high purity biodiesel and jet fuel from lowest cost feedstocks with much lower capital and operating costs. ReCon uses a process that employs proprietary reaction conditions, which result in extremely high-reaction efficiencies and lower impurity concentrations.

Experience includes:

  • Crude oil distillation
  • Vacuum distillation
  • Fluid bed catalytic cracking
  • Alkylation
  • Sulfur recovery
  • Hydrotreating
  • Catalytic reforming
  • Hydrocracking
  • LPG gas recovery
  • Product sweetening
  • Lube oil treating
  • Visbreaking
  • Coking
