Facility Details
The Port Bonython hydrocarbon processing plant is named after Santos? founding Chairman, Mr John Bonython AO.
The facility accepts liquid hydrocarbons in a mixed stream of products sent from Moomba via a 659 kilometre 355 millimetre diameter pipeline. The processing facility receives a mixture of condensate, crude oil, propane and butane which is processed in distillation towers and molecular sieves to produce various products.
These products, such as naphtha, crude oil, propane and butane, are stored in large tanks before being shipped to customers.
Port Bonython incorporates a 2.4 kilometre jetty for loading of tankers as well as road tanker loading facilities. Approximately 30 ships per year are loaded, with a maximum size tanker of 110,000 tonnes capacity. The majority of LPG produced (approx 70%) is exported via the ship loading facility.
The central processing plant comprises:
pipeline terminal (stream rate and composition measurement)
pre-fractionation heaters
ethane distillation tower (plant fuel generation)
de-propaniser distillation tower
propane molecular sieve to remove sulphur and water
de-butaniser distillation tower
butane molecular sieve to remove sulphur and water
naphtha distillation tower
propane/butane chillers
LPG pressurised bullets
crude and condensate bulk storage
propane and butane bulk storage.
************************
so no LNG plant - all that would need to be newly constructed.
but the other infrastructure is there, plus not a "greenfields" site.
a not so silly idea afterall.
