Refinery Entrusts Sembcorp With Emergency Response
The facility currently refines up to 117,000 barrels of crude oil a day, and today supplies a significant proportion of the majority of the UK's bio-diesel blend. Under the deal, SembCorp Protection will provide fire and chemical spill protection and emergency planning for the refinery, and its multi-skilled site protection officers will provide fire fighting, medical response and security protection services. All are JOIFF [Joint Oil & Industry Fire Forum] accredited fire fighters with NVQ qualifications in their core activities
The refinery is a hydroskimmer with distillate hydrotreating. Its main facilities include an atmospheric distillation unit, a gasoil desulfurization unit - also known as an HDS plant - a liquefied petroleum gas recovery unit and a sulphur removal unit.
The deal further strengthens SembCorp's ability to deliver a totally integrated and long-term sustainable asset protection service to its growing customer base, providing an integrated emergency response model for the multi-occupancy chemical site. Other SembCorp customers at the North Tees site include SABIC UK Petrochemicals and BASF, with which SembCorp already has long-term contracts.
Commenting on this latest major deal, Paul Frankland, SembCorp Protection's General Manager said: 'The Petroplus contract is another major vote of confidence in SembCorp's ability to provide outsourced emergency response services that meets the individual customer's unique requirements. Our plan is to develop and grow our business within Europe, but at the same time, continuing to deliver a world class service to our existing customers is of paramount importance to our success."
He concluded: 'The North Tees site is one of the largest chemical park clusters in Europe, and the Petroplus deal provides SembCorp with an excellent springboard for additional growth in the North East of England and beyond'
