Petrobras' COMPERJ To Use Axens Technologies

Abstract

Petrobras, Brazil's state oil company has awarded Axens process licenses for its new, world scale Rio de Janeiro Petrochemical Complex (COMPERJ) located in Itaborai, Brazil.

With a processing capacity of 150,000 bpd of Brazilian heavy oil, COMPERJ will considerably increase Brazil's heavy oil refining capacity and decrease naphtha imports, Axens said.
