The first batch of modules in JGC Basrah Refinery Upgrading Project was successfully delivered.

MORIMATSU has a long history of cooperation with JGC and this project is the largest refinery project order received from JGC in Morimatsu's history, marking a major milestone. The project includes 151 units of various types of pressure vessels, 99 modules (total tonnage of approximately 23,000+ tons). The first batch of modules are planned to be delivered one after another from the end of May 2023.

The upgrading of the Basrah refinery will add a new catalytic cracking unit with a processing capacity of 34,500 barrels per day, a reduced-pressure distillation unit with a processing capacity of 55,000 barrels per day and a diesel desulfurization unit with a processing capacity of 40,000 barrels per day on the land near the existing Basrah refinery plant, which will expand the refinery's capacity while also further improving the quality of refined products, and by narrowing the gap between the supply and demand of Iraq's domestic petroleum products In addition, the country's dependence on imported petrochemicals is being continuously reduced. In addition, the oil products produced by the modern refinery will meet international environmental standards, which will have a significant impact on environmental protection and energy utilization in the long run. The project will also lead the structural optimization and capacity adjustment of Iraq's refining industry, and put it on the fast track of prosperous development of industrial modernization, digitalization and advancement.

As a provider of modular solutions for multiple industries, Morimatsu Heavy Industry has invested large number of personnel in the peak period of the project, and adopted the advanced international digital intelligent platform system for the whole process of construction and project management. Morimatsu Heavy Industry has set up a professional and strong engineering project team to execute the project since the order was placed, and has developed a comprehensive project execution plan (including the whole set of design, procurement, manufacturing, inspection, packaging and transportation). Facing this "giant" project, Morimatsu Heavy Industry project team actively overcame the difficulties of the epidemic, tight schedule, heavy workload and difficulties, and also reasonably adjusted the manpower arrangement during the Spring Festival, through the process of continuous optimization of the construction process of the normal measures to ensure that the project can start smoothly according to the project implementation plan.
