CEPSA Bioenergía San Roque SL has awarded Duro Felguera Calderería Pesada a contract to manufacture 7 reactors for its new biofuel refinery complex at the La Rábida energy park in Palos de la Frontera, Huelva.
The reactors are between 2 and 4m in diameter, up to 30m long, with wall thicknesses of more than 100mm and weights of up to 480 tonnes. They are designed in low alloy materials, with high nickel content and stainless steel interior coatings.
The project includes the mechanical design of the equipment, its complete manufacture in the workshop, tests, and trials, and transport to CEPSA’s new green refinery in La Rábida, Huelva, which will manufacture second-generation biofuels from organic waste, such as used cooking oils or agricultural waste, thus promoting the circular economy. The new plant will produce sustainable fuels for aviation, maritime, and land transport, reducing CO2 emissions by up to 90%. This project reinforces Duro Felguera’s role as a major player in the energy transition and decarbonisation process, by putting its experience and capacity at the service of the transformation process of the energy and industrial sector with the aim of achieving a more sustainable world, with productive activities that respect the environment.
