Flint Hills Resources LP, Wichita, Kansas, will invest USD 145 million in upgrades to its 300,000 bpd refinery in Corpus Christi, Texas. Flint Hills will begin engineering and construction of a sulphur-processing unit within the next 6 months; the expected completion date is mid-2003.
Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. of Houston will manage the project. Flint Hills said the upgrades will allow it to produce fuels with 80% lower sulphur levels.
