The company throughout the years
-
2016
The installation of large-sized equipment of the Euro + modern combined oil refining unit began. The complex will replace five installations of the previous generation. The commissioning of Euro + will make it possible to increase the production of motor and aviation fuel, reduce the environmental impact by 11% from each processed ton of oil, and improve energy efficiency indicators

2017
The refinery switches to the production of Euro-5 ecological fuel, thanks to the construction of light naphtha isomerization and catalytic cracking gasoline hydro-treatment units, which provided the production of modern low-sulfur fuel components. In terms of diesel fuel, a large reconstruction of the hydro-treating unit was carried out, which allowed the refinery to bring the sulfur content to Euro-5 GOST standards.
The hydrocracking complex enabled the enterprise to produce more than 350 thousand tons of diesel fuel and gasoline annually without increasing oil refining volumes.
