The diesel fuel hydrotreatment (hydro-dewaxing) unit will allow a greater volume of secondary gasoil to be processed, which will subsequently be returned to the production system at the Omsk Refinery, following the commissioning of the new delayed coking unit.

Gazprom Neft is currently involved in a full-scale modernisation programme at its Omsk and Moscow refineries, involving cumulative investment of more than RUB550 billion. The first stage of this modernisation has involved the construction and reconstruction of key technological facilities, allowing the complete transition to the production of Euro-5 fuels, significantly improving energy efficiency and environmental friendliness in production. The implementation of the second phase of the modernisation programme is now ongoing, as a result of which refining depth and the production of light petroleum products will increase to match the highest international standards.

The Izhorskiye Zaovdy plant is a modern machine-building enterprise, designing and manufacturing equipment for nuclear facilities and for research into high-energy physics, as well as equipment for heavy, chemical and petroleum engineering. The plant’s longstanding experience and proven technologies in producing vessels and pipes operating under high pressures and temperatures and cyclic mechanical, thermal and seismic loads, as well as exposure to corrosive environments, have proved their use in a wide range of pressure vessels of various sizes, weights and applications.
