The first straight-run gasoline was produced at the ELOU-AVT-6 unit with a vacuum residue visbreaker at the Tatneft’s TANECO Refinery.

The estimated capacity of ELOU-AVT-6 is 6 million tonnes of crude oil per year. The unit will produce hydrocarbon gas, straight-run gasoline fraction, kerosene and diesel fractions, vacuum gas oil, and tar.

The general designer of ELOU-AVT-6 is OOO INKO-TeK, its general construction contractor is OOO Orgneftekhim Holding. The process flow scheme of ELOU-AVT-6 is chosen in such a way that further deeper processing should provide stock for all installations of the Nizhnekamsk Complex of Oil Refining and Petrochemical Plants.

Due to the focus of Tatneft on strengthening cooperation with domestic mechanical engineering companies, all process equipment was ordered and produced at Russian factories.

After the launch of the second ELOU-AVT-6 primary processing unit, the total rated capacity of the TANECO refinery will increase up to 14 million tonnes a year.
