Refining

In conjunction with our parent company Bechtel, we have been involved with more refining projects in North America than any other single EPC contractor. Among our signature projects is the design and construction of the Shell Scotford plant in Alberta, the last grassroots refinery built in North America.

Petroleum refining is an industrial process where crude oil is processed and refined into more useful petroleum products such as gasoline, diesel fuel, asphalt base, heating oil, kerosene, and liquefied petroleum gas. Bantrel has extensive experience executing petroleum-based projects of different magnitudes throughout Canada and the northern tier of the United States. Petroleum refining and upgrading projects are at the core of Bantrel's business acumen.

RefiningOver the past five years, Bantrel has executed hundreds of projects at over 40 different refining facilities throughout North America. Most of these projects have been revamps to upgrade to a heavier crude feedstock, to expand processing capacity or to debottleneck existing units. Bantrel's process engineering team is second to none in Canada, with more than 250 engineers among our three offices.  

Bantrel designed facilities have an outstanding record with respect to start-up and performance. Our quality-driven approach to project execution including our "best in class" cost estimating expertise enables Bantrel to provide "fit-for-purpose" facilities and customer satisfaction.  

At Bantrel, we have consistently proven our ability to work in an effective, flexible, and cooperative team environment. We believe in this approach and have seen the breakthrough results that working in an integrated team environment can bring.
