Saudi Aramcos new Jazzan refinery and terminal Project in Saudi Arabia is the latest project where Haulotte has supplied its innovative range of articulated and telescopic big booms
The Refinery will be a grassroots facility with an anticipated capacity of up to 400,000 bpd.
It will produce 80,000 bpd of gasoline, 250,000 bpd of ultra-low sulfur diesel and over 1mn tons per year of benzene and paraxylene products. The Jazan Refinery complex will also be equipped with a state-of-the-art port and a four-gigawatt power plant that will make the refinery entirely self-sufficient and provide power to locally owned manufacturing and service companies.
Saudi Aramco selected the city of Jazzan, on the south coast of the Red Sea, to spend US$27bn capital expenditure to create a greenfield Jazan Economic City (JEC). It is part of a strategy to nurture non-oil based industries and expand the Kingdom’s existing industries to serve domestic needs and rejuvenate the Jazan region by providing employment opportunities.
The models which are used the most are the Haulotte articulated boom lift HA41PX-NT and HA41RTJ PRO and the Haulotte telescopic boom Lift HT43RTJ PRO. The HA41 models have an outreach of 19.80m and a lifting speed of less than 40 seconds. The recently launched HT28RTJ PRO, equipped with the innovative STOP Emission System, is also on site. This system automatically puts the machine in stand-by after an extended period of inactivity.
As per Saudi Aramco’s request, all the machines were equipped with a secondary guarding system: The HAULOTTE ACTIV’ Shield© Bar 2.0 which offers protection by shielding users from any risk of crushing without compromising productivity.
