Kuwait Al-Zour Integrated Refining and Chemical Project

Products：API 5L Oil Casing Pipe, ASTM A106 Seamless Carbon Steel Pipe, 316L/310S Special Stainless Steel

Quantity: 2600 tons

Project location: The Azur district of the Ahmadi Governorate in Kuwait is located about 90 kilometers south of Kuwait City, adjacent to the Persian Gulf.

Date: 2015.10

I. Project Background: A World-Class Refining and Chemical Hub

*Scale and Status: Upon completion, the facility will have a daily crude oil processing capacity of 615,000 barrels, significantly enhancing Kuwait's production capacity of high-quality clean fuels.

*Technological Threshold: Extreme Environment: Located along the Persian Gulf coast, the facility faces high temperatures, high humidity, and strong salt spray corrosion year-round.

*High-Pressure Transportation: Involves the high-pressure transportation of large quantities of flammable, explosive, and corrosive media.

*Stringent Standards: The facility must fully comply with the internal standards of ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers), API (American Petroleum Institute), and the Kuwait National Oil Company.
