Modern equipment manufactured by JSC Volgogradneftemash for the hydrotreating and dewaxing complex of diesel fuel arrived at the Omsk Oil Refinery of Gazprom Neft. There are the key elements of the future complex: reaction units for hydrotreating and dewaxing, as well as a high pressure separator, Volgogradneftemash says in a press release.
The reactors are made of high-strength chrome-molybdenum-vanadium steel and meet all the requirements of international quality standards. Their length reaches 44 meters, and the total weight of the delivered vessels exceeds 700 tons. The equipment was delivered to Omsk via the Northern Sea Route.
The new complex, with a capacity of 2.5 million tons of raw materials, will allow the Omsk Oil Refinery to double its output of winter and arctic grade diesel that are in demand on the market.
