It is 100 km from Da Nang and 38 km from Quang Ngai town. The SITE is bounded by
Dung Quat Bay to the north and Viet Thanh Bay to the east.

1.1.2 Work Site Conditions


The Work Site is all green field within the Dung Quat Industrial Zone. The Refinery Site
areas have been prepared to form preliminary level platforms. EPC Contractor shall, as
part of their scope of work, carry out any further required site preparation work included
but not limited to additional soil investigation, piling foundation in order to complete the
Refinery.

1.1.3 Access to the Work Site

1.1.3.1 Port
Da Nang is the nearest commercial port, which has facilities to receive large and ocean-
going ships.
There is a newly built Construction Dock on the East side of Dung Quat Harbor and shall
be served as a general refinery equipment loading dock.

1.1.3.1 Airport
The Site can be reached by international flights to Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City, then
domestic flights to Da Nang and by car from Da Nang to the Site. Da Nang is an
International Airport.

No access is currently possible from Chu Lai airport.

1.1.3.3 Railroad
There is currently no railway to the Site. The nearest railway station is at Quang Ngai
town and it is on the national main line service from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City.

1.1.3.4 Highway
A highway of 13.3 km long and a bridge of 500 m have been built over cross Tra Bong
River to Dung Quat Harbor from the National Road No.1. A road of 12 km long
connecting the Refinery with the Construction Dock has been built.

1.2 Climatic Conditions


Central Vietnam is located in tropical area, being hot and humid for most of the year with
significant rainfall in rainy seasons. The location Site coastal and typhoons are regular
occurred in raining session.

Attachment 1.1 : Refinery Overall Descriptions Page 4 of 35


1.3 Marine Information
The site selected for the marine loading facilities and the already constructed RO/RO
(Roll On/Roll Off) facility is Dung Quat Bay. A natural protection shall be supplemented
by construction of a breakwater giving a protected harbor with suitable water depths for
ship loading/unloading facilities. Some dredging will be required.

Viet Thanh Bay, to the east of the Site, offers water depths close to shore and
environmental conditions suitable for the operation of SPM facilities for import of crude
by tankers up to 110,000DWT.

1.4 Plot Plan


The Refinery Site consists of following main areas: ISBL Facilities ( Plant), Crude
Tankage, Product Tank Farm, Marine loading facilities at the jetty, SPM and Seawater
intake/outfall facilities. These areas are joined by interconnecting pipelines with service
road.

1.4.1 Overall Site Plan


The locations of all areas are shown on the Overall Site Plan. The area of the overall site
is calculated to be approximately 232 ha, made up as follows:
 ISBL including Process, Utility and Offsite Facilities: about 110 ha.
 Crude Tank Farm and Flare Area: about 42 ha.
 Product Tank Farm: about 43.83 ha.
 Seawater intake, Waste Water and Crude Oil Pipelines: about 17 ha.
 Interconnecting Pipelines, road and right-of-way: about 77.46 ha.
 Additionally, the Product Harbour Service Area will occupy about 135 ha.
1.4.2 Refinery Layout

1.4.2.1 Plant Area


The ISBL Facilities have been located within area of 110 ha and arranged to give the
most optimal routing of critical piping systems to satisfy the process and minimize cost.
The layout maintains good access for the safe operation and maintenance of the plant.
The individual process units are linked with elevated pipe racks and low-level pipe
tracks. Provision is also made for future units.

1.4.2.2 Crude Tank Farm and Flare Area


The Crude Tankage and main Flare are located in close to the Plant and at the distance of
3 km from the SPM.

1.4.2.3 Product Tank Farm Area


This area is located approximately 3.0 km from the jetty heads and 7.0 km north of the
Plant. Product tank farm is on an elevated plateau at 18.0m HN-72. The central access
road through the Tank Farm shall be aligned with the interconnecting pipeline and
service road. Access to the truck loading area shall be separate from the access road to
the tankage area.

Attachment 1.1 : Refinery Overall Descriptions Page 5 of 35


The flare and LPG spheres are located with regard to the prevailing wind. The central
grade mounted pipe track, which runs through the Product tank farm carries all pipelines
connecting the Refinery to the Product tank farm and Jetty loading.

1.4.2.4 Marine Loading Facilities


The marine loading jetty, which is located to obtain maximum storm protection from the
breakwater, consists of three jetty heads, each with two berths. One head is designed for
ocean-going ships up to 30,000 DWT, and the others are designed for coastal ships up to
5000 DWT.

The jetty layout is arranged to allow good access for maintenance, fire fighting,
necessary security and support services at the entrance.

1.4.2.5 Interconnecting Pipelines


This pipe way carries the Refinery product and service pipelines on concrete sleepers at
grade between the Refinery and the Product tank farm, and on the Jetty loading area.
The pipe way is approximately 7.0 km long between Refinery and Product tank farm and
3.0 km between Product tank farm and Jetty head. A service road is provided for
maintenance and access to the pipelines and cables. Expansion loops and surge load
anchors shall be taken into account without creating low point pockets in the piping
systems. The elevation of the product pipelines varied between 6.0m and 18m HN-72.

1.4.2.6 Seawater Intake and SPM


The seawater intake/outfall and the SPM are located in Viet Thanh Bay. The cooling
water lines and crude oil lines come ashore in separate corridors. Due to the existing
terrain and the requirement to not breach the natural sea defense, they will be buried for
part of the route to the refinery fence. An access track is provided alongside the Seawater
pipelines.

2.4 Crude Distillation Unit (Unit 011)
General Description
Crude enters the Crude Distillation Unit (CDU) and is preheated against product and
pumparound streams prior to entering a fired heater. The crude is split into a number of
products in a main fractionator and associated side stream strippers. Overhead Naphtha is
further processed in a stabiliser.
The CDU products are:
Product Destination
Full Range Naphtha Naphtha Hydrotreater
Kerosene Kerosene Treater Unit
Light Gas Oil Refinery Tankage
Heavy Gas Oil Refinery Tankage
Atmospheric Residue RFCC
Light ends from the CDU are sent via the RFCC gas plant to the LPG Treater Unit
(LTU).
Full Range Naphtha from the CDU is fed to the Naphtha Hydrotreater Unit (NHT) where
