Syzran Oil Refinery (part of Rosneft’s oil refining unit) has implemented for the first time in Russia a technology for reloading chlorinated platinum-containing isomerization catalyst without losing its activity. The potential economic effect of the proprietary technology developed and implemented will be about 1 billion rubles.
Development of technological potential is one of the key elements of the Rosneft-2030 strategy. The company prioritizes innovation activities, defining technological leadership as a key factor in competitiveness in the oil market.
The isomerization catalyst ensures the conversion of low-octane oil fractions into high-octane gasoline. To conduct an internal inspection of the reactors of the low-temperature isomerization unit, it is periodically necessary to unload and then load the catalyst. When unloaded, the catalyst irreversibly loses its activity when in contact with air. Specialists at the Syzran Oil Refinery have developed a technology in which the catalyst does not lose its activity when reloaded.
High catalyst activity and absence of its deactivation were confirmed by the results of the isomerization unit operation for 10 months. After the unit entered the process mode, an isomerate with an octane number corresponding to the initial specification was obtained.
Reference:
JSC Syzran Oil Refinery produces a wide range of high-quality petroleum products – motor gasoline and diesel fuel of the highest ecological class, environmentally friendly low-sulfur marine fuel, liquefied hydrocarbon gases, etc.
The enterprise is implementing a modernization program with the aim of increasing the depth of processing and maximizing the efficient use of secondary processes to increase the output of high-margin petroleum products.
At 70% of the Syzran Oil Refinery’s process units, imported protective layer catalysts have been replaced with corporate products – manufactured by the Angarsk Plant of Catalysts and Organic Synthesis, the Novokuibyshevsk Plant of Catalysts, and RN-Kat. The project for the transition to Russian-made protective layer catalysts was developed by the All-Russian Research Institute for Oil Refining (VNII NP), which is also part of Rosneft’s perimeter.
