Komsomolsk Oil Refinery (part of the Rosneft oil refining complex) carried out measures at the ELOU-AVT-3 primary oil refining unit, as a result of which the plant’s capacity to produce Arctic diesel fuel of environmental class K5 increased by 20%.

Diesel fuel with a freezing point below minus 55°C is in high demand in the regions of the Far East and the North of Russia to ensure uninterrupted operation of equipment in harsh climatic conditions. The first batches of Arctic fuel of the highest ecological class, produced using the new technology, have already been sent to ensure northern delivery. Fuel DT-A2-K5 has successfully passed a set of necessary tests, confirming compliance with all requirements of Russian and international standards.

Employees of the Komsomolsk Oil Refinery have developed a new process flow chart for selecting the main components for the preparation of diesel fuel, which has increased the share of kerosene fraction from 3% to 6% of the raw materials of the ELOU-AVT-3 unit. In addition, the new flow chart eliminates additional operations for pumping components in the commodity and raw materials shop. The economic effect from the implementation of the measures taken is 25 million rubles per month.

Rosneft pays special attention to improving operational efficiency and identifies technological leadership as a key factor in competitiveness in the oil market.

As a result of the corporate program for modernization of oil refining capacities implemented at the Komsomolsk Oil Refinery, the enterprise has been able to increase the depth of refining to 89% and expand the range of environmentally friendly oil products produced.
