Sincor Coke and Sulfur Handling Facility

 
 
 

The Sincor Coke and Sulfur Handling Facility in Jose, Venezuela is designed to handle 2.4 million tons per year of petroleum coke and 380,00 tons per year of either molten or solid sulfur.

One feature of the project is the dual orbiting slewing shiploader operating at a nominal rate of 2,000 tph per unit. This unique shiploader is the first of its kind in the world.

NAFCO provided the detailing, fabrication, and delivery of the structural steel to Corpus Christi, Texas for Metso Minerals (formerly Svedala Industries), wherein Intermarine provided overseas transport of the shiploading components.

The tubular structures encapsulate both the boom and orbit bridge conveyors and walkways to reduce the possibility of spillage and dusting of the products.
