Once again, more false and misleading B.S. hyping MMEX.
In fact, the VFuel's rudimentary topping unit appears to have been directly lifted from a popular design tool template, and is largely unmodified.
The rudimentary process unit lacks critical capability, including a desalter, side-stripping units, and implements the least efficient straight-run diesel recovery possible - a reboiler. The unit will not run in balance, and can only handle a very narrow feedstock range, centered around the mythical "Diamond Rogers Blue" - the assay for which was supplied by MMEX - it does not match what actually comes out of the ground here in the Permian.
An undergraduate student in his or her sophomore or junior year who would submit a design like this in a process engineering class would receive a failing grade. MMEX lacks the competence to understand how flawed the design used in its Phase I proposal is - they allowed it to be submitted to TCEQ, and it got permitted! This dooms MMEX to operating a unit guaranteed not to run in balance, reliably, or over the range of real-world feedstocks available in the region.
The final insult to injury for the unsophisticated - MMEX's Phase I unit would be unable to produce any directly marketable product. There are no direct markets for ATB, AGO, or LGO in the region - all of MMEX's potential product would have to be shipped to downstream refiners for additional processing.
All three of the existing regionals have the ability to process WTI-spec crude, as well as sour crude, and lighter condensates. The process capability represented in MMEX's rudimentary Phase I system is a subset of the total range of process capability for the existing regionals.
And a new state of the art CDU. The competition doesn’t have it to handle this oil like mmex
Exactly. Being able to be tuned to handle the Permian crude is critical. All the latest control and processing methodology as well as material in a new modular CDU. Go mmex
