Case Study

Atyrau Oil Refinery (Kazakhstan)
Project Theme
Modernization of Oil Refinery.
Project description
Implemented in three phases and is set for completion in 2015. On completion, the project will enable the refinery to increase crude oil refining capacity to five million tonnes a year and achieve an output that conforms to Euro-5 standards. The first phase of the project involves the reconstruction of the atmospheric and vacuum distillation plant. It will enable the production of light products such as gasoline, diesel fuel or gas through the atmospheric and vacuum distillation of crude oil.
The second phase involves the construction of an aromatics complex, construction for which commenced in 2010. The complex will produce 133,000t of benzene and 496,000t of paraxylene on an annual basis. It will enable the production of petrol and diesel fuel to the Euro-4 standard. The third phase of the expansion project will add new fluid catalytic cracker units, including other processing equipment to meet European environmental standards of oil production.
Scope
Pre-fabrication and installation of Piping, Mechanical installation, Paint and Insulation.
