Current indicators of the TANECO Complex are 8.7 million tonnes of annually processed feedstock, processing depth of 99.2%, and 87% of light oil products. At the moment, the Complex produces about 20 types of commercial products.
Further development of TANECO is associated with the deepening of oil refining and the increase in the volume of raw materials processed. Alongside with the operation of existing units, construction of new production facilities continues. In the coming months, it is planned to commission hydro-treatment units for naphtha, kerosene, diesel fuel, and isomerisation of light naphtha. The commissioning of ELOU-AVT-6 unit and the launch of the EURO-5 gasoline production at the TANECO Refinery will be other milestones to be reached in 2018.
