The project marks the first use of UOP modular technology in the country and will help Lanaz comply with increasingly strict specifications for fuel products.<\/p>\n<p>UOP has supplied licensing and basic engineering design services as well as full modular units to Lanaz, based in Erbil in the Kurdistan region of Iraq.<\/p>\n<p>As refiners in developing economies seek to upgrade their facilities to produce high-quality gasoline, many are seeking modular solutions to maintain costs and mitigate risk with pre-fabrication and assembly completed in a safe and controlled environment off-site. In addition, modular technology provides a faster pathway to operations with facilities coming online less time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDepending upon capacity and location, UOP\u2019s modular technologies can reduce construction and installation costs more than 20% compared with systems constructed on site,\u201d said Laura Leonard, vice president and general manager, UOP Process Technologies. \u201cBy upgrading with this technology, Lanaz can start operations between a year and 18 months faster than the traditional field-fabricated model, and quickly produce high-quality gasoline to meet growing demand.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Lanaz Refinery is a fully equipped, high capacity refinery built in 2008 in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq and processes about 100,000 bpd of crude oil.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Honeywell announced that the Lanaz Company will use UOP modular naphtha hydrotreating and fixed-bed platforming process units to upgrade its refinery in Iraq so it can produce more &#8230; <a class=\"cz_readmore\" href=\"https:\/\/lanaz.com\/lanaz-to-use-honeywell-technology-to-modernize-iraqi-refinery\/\"><i class=\"fa czico-188-arrows-2\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><span>Read More<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1802,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1116],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1985","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lanaz.com\/rest\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1985","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lanaz.com\/rest\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lanaz.com\/rest\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lanaz.com\/rest\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lanaz.com\/rest\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1985"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/lanaz.com\/rest\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1985\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2974,"href":"https:\/\/lanaz.com\/rest\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1985\/revisions\/2974"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lanaz.com\/rest\/wp\/v2\/media\/1802"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lanaz.com\/rest\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1985"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lanaz.com\/rest\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1985"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lanaz.com\/rest\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1985"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
