During the working visit, the Altai delegation visited the TANECO’s central control building, where the guests were acquainted with the prospects of the project development and the samples of the products yielded.
The refinery operates with high-hitting indicators in terms of the processing depth, the output of light oil products and the primary oil refining capacity utilization. The process flow chart of the oil refinery complex is getting more and more complicated year after year.
TATNEFT is simultaneously working on several major investment projects within the framework of the program to improve the efficiency of the oil-refining complex. There were the naphtha hydrotreatment and isomerization units put into operation in the beginning of 2018, which was the first stage of implementing the full-scale Euro-5 gasoline grades production scheme.
Within the framework of the TANECO Development Strategy, this year will witness commissioning of kerosene and diesel fuel hydrotreating units, as well as commissioning of a catalytic reformer, which will allow starting the production of premium gasoline grades. Putting into operation of ELOU-AVT-6 is also planned, which will increase the throughput of the Complex to 14 million tonnes.
The activities of TATNEFT-Nizhnekamskneftekhim-Oil were presented to the guests, which use the TANECO’s base oils to produce lubricants for various purposes. TNO is the 1st and only enterprise in Russia that has started the production of synthetic polyalphaolefine based oil grades.
