Abantia has carried out the mechanical assembly of equipment and pipes for a delayed coking unit at the BP Oil plant in Castellón.

This installation is used to produce 750 million litres of diesel a year and 400,000 Tn of coke, eliminating the production of fuel oil.

Work involves the installation of 1,100 Tn of pipes with diameters comprising between 1/2’’ and 36’’, 2,800 isometric pipes from stainless carbon steel and alloys.

60 km of pipes have been assembled for steam piping alone.

  The current project is being undertaken within the refinery itself, the surface ground area of this installation is 109 x 107 x 115 m. It was the wish of BP to implement an acceleration plan to reduce deadlines as much as possible. Both of these conditions -installations high above ground level and concentrated deadlines- led to complex organisational considerations on various fronts, with two or three workshifts and teams of 500 men.
