SSOE was secured to implement the change Marathon needed to improve conversion of its heavier feedstocks into gasoline and lighter fractions.
Consistently ranked as a top industrial process and chemical design firm, SSOE applied its experience in petroleum refinery processes to provide recommendations for installation of the third-party addition system.
