Project Description

Gazprom neftekhim Salavat LLC is one of the leading petrochemical complexes in Russia. Founded in 1948, the facility provides a full cycle of hydrocarbon feedstock processing, and produces over 150 types of various products, such as automotive gasoline, diesel fuel, fuel oil, viscous bitumen, feedstock for road asphalt, sulfur, LDPE, HDPE-S, ethylene, styrene, PSM-E, butyl alcohols, urea, ammonia.

The Company is among the leaders in domestic production of a number of products, in particular butyl alcohols and plasticizers, styrene and styrene copolymers, mineral fertilizers.

Keeping up with the stringent requirements to automotive fuels on the content of sulfur, benzene, aromatic and olefinic hydrocarbons, Gazprom neftekhim Salavat LLC is accelerating the upgrading of its facilities in order to improve gasoline and diesel fuel quality, while closely monitoring all fluctuations in the market of petroleum products.

Gazprom neftekhim Salavat LLC comprises three plants: Refinery, Monomer Plant and Gas Chemical Plant.

General View of the Petrochemical Complex

REFINERY

The refinery processes sour crude oil blends (with sulfur content up to 3% wt.), as well as gas condensates with sulfur content up to 1.7% wt. It is the main link in the production chain of Gazprom neftekhim Salavat LLC. The main goals of the ongoing large-scale investment programs are the construction of new and upgrading of existing production facilities on the basis of state-of-the-art and environmentally safe process technologies. All new production facilities meet the high safety and environmental requirements.

MONOMER PETROCHEMICAL PLANT

Monomer Petrochemical Plant is a complex comprising ethylene and propylene, plastics as well as alcohols and plasticizers production facilities. The active development and modernization of processes during the last two decades made it possible for each of these facilities to reach the highest modern level of their product quality, making them fully competitive in the Russian and global markets. One of the world’s best polyethylene process technologies enables the production of several dozens of grades of this widely used product.

GAS AND CHEMICAL PLANT

Gas and Chemical Plant products are exported to Europe and Asia and were repeatedly awarded high prizes confirming their excellent quality and high reputation of the enterprise. In 2012, a new urea granulation unit was commissioned. This made it possible to produce a higher quality urea, increased the safety of equipment operation and reduced emissions of pollutants into the atmosphere. In addition, new energy-saving technologies were introduced.
