Production of multi-grade hydraulic oils of the VMGZ type (VMGZ-45, VMGZ-55, VMGZ-60) started at TANECO, the oil refining complex of Tatneft.

The production of hydraulic oils is an important achievement within the framework of retrofitting the Tatneft’s oil production activities. Following the course of import substitution strategy, the company selected domestic process equipment and automation tools for equipping its new production facilities. Thanks to the well-coordinated work of the teams of TANECO and Tatneft’s Department for Construction Projects Implementation, the installation and commissioning of a new hydraulic oil production and packaging line were completed within the shortest time.

New products can be used in the northern regions as a working fluid in hydraulic systems of various industrial equipment. It is also intended for the use as a winter grade under moderate climatic conditions in hydraulic drive and control systems of construction, road, logging, lifting, transport, and other machinery in industrial hydraulic equipment operated in the open air at oil temperatures from -40°С for VMGZ-45, from -45°С for VMGZ-55, and from -50°С in case of VMGZ-60.

The design capacity of the new lubricant production facility at the TANECO is 1,800 tonnes per year.
