AnonymousNational Cooperative Refinery Association will announce in the fourth quarter plans to build a new expanded coker at its 85000 BPD McPherson, Kansas refinery. With other upgrades the plant will increase capacity to 100,000 BPD with approximately 50% of it being heavy Canadian Sands Crude. The coker will be built using ConocoPhillips technology and will replace an old three drum coker originally built in the mid 50’s and early 60’s. The project will include metalurgical upgrades to allow the existing crude and vacuum units to process the high acid number crude. A three year wait is expected before the delivery of the new coke drums due to the tremendous backlog of orders and a general contracter has not been announced.

In addition, InServ is also conducting a study to increase the rate on an 85,000-BPD crude unit to allow the refinery to process additional Canadian sour crude oil. The approval for the projects is expected in spring 2008, and the NCRA will select an engineering and construction company to perform engineering, procurement and construction services for the capital projects that are expected to start up in 2012.
