The Bapco Modernization Project (BMP) is the largest energy investment in the history of the Kingdom of Bahrain and has upgraded the existing refinery into a world-class, top-quartile refinery with reduced energy intensity.
The BMP's increased refining capacity to 405,000 bpd – a 42% increase. The BMP also includes 21 new operating units and 15 new substations.
A standout feature of BMP is the Resid Hydrocracking unit, which will convert 78% of lower-grade feedstock into distillates, which will then be refined into high-margin diesel and kerosene.
