• What are Akfen mini refineries?
  • Akfen Mini-Refineries are skid mounted, modular crude oil distillation units (CDU) which process from 22.000 Liter of crude oil per Day and are capable of producing a variety of finished products including naphtha (straight run gasoline), kerosene, arctic and summer diesel and fuel oil. A reformer may be added for producing high-octane gasoline.
  • What is a mini refinery?
  • Mini-Refineries are skid mounted, modular crude oil distillation units (CDU) which process from 200-10,000 BPD of crude oil and are capable of producing numerous finished products including naphtha (straight run gasoline), kerosene, diesel and fuel oil. A reformer may be added for producing high-octane gasoline.
  • What is a mini-refinery processing plant?
  • with a minimum amount of field construction. Refined products produced from a mini-refinery processing plant can be sold to local markets or supplied as a feedstock for further processing and the residual oil returned to the crude pipelines.
  • Do refineries run 24/7?
  • Refineries run 24/7. What is cracking? A method of converting heavy crude oil into lighter desirable products such as gasoline and diesel fuel by breaking large hydrocarbon molecules into smaller molecules using heat, pressure and catalyst. Introducing Refining 101, a three-part education series on the basics of petroleum refining.
  • Could membrane separation save money on oil & gas refining?
  • According to Neel Rangnekar, a chemical engineer with Exxon and a team member on the new paper, switching from distillation to membrane separation could save up to 50% of the cost of heating the crude oil and 75% of the cost of electricity used in refining, amounting to at least $3.5 billion per year.
  • How much oil does a refinery produce a day?
  • At our 15 refineries our throughput capacity of crude oil and other feedstocks is 3.2?million barrels per day. Depending on the size of the refinery, from 80,000 to 300,000+ barrels of crude oil per day, per refinery, is processed to make clean transportation fuels. What tools or equipment is used in oil refineries?
