Oil Refining

Our Refining assets are some of the most competitive in the industry

The goals of our refining business are profitability improvement and operational excellence. By boosting the throughput of advantageous feedstocks and enhancing the yields of higher-value products, we increase profits. In order to maximize its profitability within the parameters set by shareholders, the refinery chooses the crude and the product slates. Before being supplied under the shareholders’ brand labels to the home market in Kazakhstan and export markets, mostly in the Far East, all items go through a rigorous quality control process.

Additionally, Armavir Impex Oil, TOO is actively working to integrate and synergize with Jurong Island’s downstream sectors. The refinery is open to new business opportunities for the selling of intermediate or finished products as feedstock for the petrochemical and allied industries, as well as the acquisition of intermediate process streams from possible suppliers.

Facilities & Manufacturing Capability

290,000 barrels of crude oil can be processed daily by Armavir Impex Oil, TOO. A network of computerized control systems run by groups of highly skilled workers oversee manufacturing activities around-the-clock, guaranteeing seamless and effective operation.

Our refinery has three Crude Distillation Units (CDUs), where the refining process starts. Crude is distilled into various fractions, each with an own boiling range, after entering the atmospheric distillation machines. To satisfy the required standards for product quality, the generated fractions undergo additional refinement in different units. In order to separate vacuum gas oil from vacuum residue, the majority of the atmospheric residue is transported for vacuum distillation.

High-quality, low-sulfur intermediate distillate products can be produced from heavy fuel oil components using the Hydrocracker, which uses the Unicracker Technology. After removing unwanted contaminants with vacuum gas oil and hydrogen in a hydrotreating reactor, they are catalytically cracked in the presence of hydrogen and catalysts through a high-temperature, high-pressure process.

Heavy, low-grade residual oils are processed by the Residue Catalytic Cracker (RCC) to produce fuel oil components, diesel, olefinic light ends, and gasoline. A fluidized bed of solid catalysts circulates quickly at extremely high temperatures between a reactor and a two-stage catalyst regenerator in this method. The MTBE Unit and Alkylation Unit receive light end olefinic products from the RCC in order to produce additional components for gasoline mixing.

Berths for loading to ships

Our refinery complex has extensive berthing facilities including 7 berths handling loading and discharge of crude and refined petroleum products. The berths can accommodate ships of up to 387,000 deadweight with maximum length overall of 355 meters and 21 meters loaded draft.
