MRC Global Inc. announced that Chalmette Refining (CR) has selected MRC Global (U.S.) Inc. as the primary pipe, valves and fittings (PVF) products provider for CR’s Renewable Diesel Project in St. Bernard Parish, LA. Chalmette Refining is a subsidiary of PBF Energy Inc. (PBF), one of the largest independent refiners in North America.
The renewable diesel plant will include a pretreatment unit at the manufacturing site that will enable Chalmette Refining to process renewable materials such as soybean and corn oil, as well as other bio-based fats and oils, into feedstocks for the primary unit. When completed, the production unit will have a nameplate capacity of 20,000 barrels per day of renewable fuel, with start-up expected in the first half of 2023.
MRC Global is also the primary agreement provider of PVF products and services to PBF’s six U.S. refineries, which includes all project and maintenance, repair and operations (MRO) needs.
“We have a long history with PBF and we appreciate their trust in MRC Global to support this strategic energy transition project,” said Rob Saltiel, MRC Global president and CEO. “Our technical expertise, quality processes, location footprint, and proven record of reliable service to PBF have enabled this exciting opportunity for our company.”
