This paper deals with the different aspects of floating petrochemical and synthetic fuel plants design which requires special attention to guarantee reliable plant performance at sea. It presents the block flow diagram and process requirements for methanol, ammonia, urea, gasoline and MTBE plants. A multiple vessel concept is outlined to provide product and operational flexibility in future plants. Typical process equipment needs and limitations are shown, with emphasis placed on distillation towers and tubular reformers. The paper highlights vessel motions, mooring and weather downtime analysis. Various motion suppression systems are discussed with respect to their applicability to floating plants. Special structural requirements of the vessel, the process equipment and its foundations are given with regards to inertia and sloshing loads.
