- Wikipage: Talara Refinery
- Location: Talara, seashore province of Piura Department, Peru
- Capacity: 3.1 million tons/annum & 62.000 bbl/day

The Project
- Project Type: Upgrade
- Project Summary: The Project consists on the revamping of the existing units, the desulfurization of Diesel and gasoline, bottom conversion and the incensement of the average octane of gasoline; in addition, the production of sulfuric acid and self consumption generated electricity.
- The capacities estimated for the selected process configuration are the following:
- Revamping and modification of existing processes units:
- Primary Distillation Unit (from 62,0 to 95,0 kBSD)
- Catalytic Cracking Unit (from 19,0 to 25,0 (kBSD), including the Gas Recovering Unit and Gas and Gasoline Hydrotreating.
- Fitting of the Vacuum Distillate Unit - VDU I (21,0 kBSD) to heavier charges.
- Construction of new processes units:
- Hydrotreating of Diesel (41,0 kBSD)
- Hydrotreating of cracking naphtha (9,5 kBSD)
- Vacuum Distillate VDU III (35, 0 kBSD)
- Coker (22,6 kBSD)
- Hydrotreating of naphtha (13,3 kBSD)
- Catalytic reformation of naphtha (9,5 kBSD)
- Hydrogen Plant (21,0 MMPCD)
- Sulfuric Acid Recovering Plant (362,0 TMD)
- Amines Plant
- Cogeneration Plant
- Revamping and modification of Industrial Services and General Facilities:
- Industrial Services (Utilities):
- Electric energy Supply
- Steam supply
- Water supply for industrial use
- Sea Water supply
- Gas supply
- Compressed air supply
- General Facilities (Facilities):
- Crude and products storage system
- Drain system and slop recovering
- Pressure and Flare relieve system
- Port facilities
- Control and security system
- Fire system
- Laboratory
- Workshops
- Main Contractors: Haldor Topsoe will supply license, engineering, catalyst and proprietary equipment

Terminal Capacity
- Crude Oil:
- Refined Products:
Crude Supply
- The project will enable the refinery to use very heavy crude oils, down to 18 API, compared to 30 API today.
Products Produced
- The project will enable the refinery to produce Ultra Low Sulphur Diesel, Low Sulphur Gasoline and Sulphuric Acid. It will also improve the product mix and increase capacity.
