The Turkmenbashi complex of oil refineries (TCOR) at the end of 2019 will increase the depth of oil refining from 86% to 92%, which will put it on a par with the world leaders in oil refining. This was stated by Director General of the TCOR Dovran Chishiev, speaking on Thursday at the International Conference "Oil and Gas of Turkmenistan 2020".
He noted that the launch of a new delayed coking and tar deasphalting unit under construction at the TCOR would help to achieve such an increase in the oil refining ratio.
- Further introduction of new technologies within the framework of constant, systematic modernization of the TCOR is aimed at a full transition to the production of environmentally friendly motor gasoline and diesel fuel that meet the Euro-5 standard, - Dovran Chishiev said.
At the moment, the complex includes several units for primary and secondary oil refining - these are ELOU-AT units, catalytic cracking and reforming units, jet fuel purification, diesel fuel hydrotreating, olefin alkylation and light gasoline isomerization.
During the modernization of the TCOR, installations for the production of polypropylene film (BOPP), polypropylene bags, bitumen, coke and calcined coke, a workshop for the production of lubricating oils and polypropylene were put into operation. All these are the main technological objects of the flagship enterprise.
The digital transformation of its production is also continuing - systems for collecting, processing, displaying and archiving information about monitoring and control objects are being introduced.
The TCOR produces all the main types of products of the oil refining and petrochemical industries, which fully comply with environmental standards. The main range is high-octane unleaded motor gasolines, aviation, lighting and technical kerosene, liquefied petroleum gas, various types of diesel fuel, including EKO-4 and EKO-5, lubricating oils of over 30 brands, polypropylene, electrode calcined coke, high-quality road and construction bitumen, low-sulfur fuel oil, etc.
Being the largest enterprise in Turkmenistan, TCOR is comparable in scale with the leading oil refining concerns. It includes two factories, numerous oil depots and filling stations.
