Gazprom Neft to collaborate with St Petersburg’s State Institute of Technology on implementing the country’s national project to establish a cutting-edge catalyst-production facility in Omsk
Gazpromneft-Catalytic Systems is a Gazprom Neft subsidiary, established to manage all aspects of the company’s catalyst business, from production to the provision of a full range of technical-support services.
Refining catalysts are substances which, when introduced into immediate chemical interactions, speed up chemical reactions in oil refining.
High-technology catalyst production at Gazprom Neft will make it possible to meet Russian refineries’ demand for secondary-refining catalysts in full. Total annual production capacity is 21,000 tonnes, comprising 6,000 tonnes of hydrogenation catalysts, and 15,000 tonnes of cat-cracking catalysts — all of which are used in key secondary refining processes facilitating the production of Euro-5 motor fuels.
Gazprom Neft is developing innovative technologies in catalyst production in conjunction with major Russian catalytic-process research and development centres. The company’s partners on this national project, specifically, are the Boreskov Institute of Catalysis, Novosibirsk (a Siberian branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences), and the Center of New Chemical Technologies (Omsk, until March 2019 the Institute for Problems of Hydrocarbon Refining, also a Siberian branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences) which, in conjunction with the company, are leading work on developing new (and improving existing) catalyst production technologies.
