• What is a modular mini refinery?
  • Modular mini refineries are best utilized in emerging economies and in remote locations where gasoline, diesel and fuel oil are needed. The local crude oil is normally your lowest cost feed stock because the transportation costs are minimized. Mini refineries with heavy crudes and low API gravity produce more fuel oil and less naphtha and diesel.
  • What is a mini refinery?
  • A mini refinery is defined as a refinery that produces less than 5,000 barrels of oil a day ¨C however, this is a loosely agreed-upon definition. Mini refinery designs can vary, particularly if they are of a modular construction. Modular-mini refineries are intended to be easy-to-construct refineries that can be customised for consumer demands.
  • What are modular crude oil refineries?
  • Modular crude oil refineries are prefabricated processing plants designed to distill crude oil into a range of petroleum products, including naphtha, kerosene, diesel, residual fuel oil, and off-gas.
  • What are modular refinery crude oil distillation units?
  • Modular Refinery Crude Oil Distillation Units are essentially mini refineries capable of processing from 1,000 to 40,000 barrels per day (BpD) from any stream of Light or Heavy Crude Oil within API Gravity of 35¡ã¨C 50¡ã, into Naphtha, Diesel, Kerosene and Fuel Oil and other specialty fuel products.
