 CB&I designs and builds isomerization units for converting normal paraffins to higher-octane isoparaffins for refinery applications. We can process units of any capacity and design them to utilize any process technology available.
The two most common process units we provide are butane (C4) isomerization units and pentane/hexane (C5/C6) units. The C4 unit converts normal butane or a mixture of butanes to isobutane for feedstock to an alkylation unit. The C5/C6 unit converts normal pentane and normal hexane streams—commonly found in straight-run gasoline—-to isopentane and isohexane that can be used for gasoline blending.
A complete EPC services package. We provide a full array of integrated design-build services for isomerization unit projects. Our capabilities include everything from front-end engineering and design, detail engineering, fabrication and construction to installation, startup and operator training. Our designers and engineers have extensive experience with all process technologies. With expertise spanning the entire oil and gas production and processing cycle, we optimize our projects to provide greater long-term value for our customers.
We execute most projects on a lump-sum, turnkey basis, handling the work with our own in-house resources whenever possible. By providing a true EPC solution, we are able to control costs and project quality, reduce the customer's risk and often shorten project schedules. And we maintain a vast global network of engineering, fabrication, procurement and construction resources that can quickly be mobilized to any project site.
Faster, more cost-effective construction. We can errect isomerization units using conventional, "stick-built" construction methods, modular construction; or a combination of the two. We evaluate each project's requirements to determine the best approach for our customers. Modular units are fabricated at our in-house facilities and can be shipped almost anywhere. Most projects benefit from some degree of modularization, which can result in reduced costs and shorter project schedules.
