A digital industrial-safety control system has been put into commercial operation at the Gazprom Neft Omsk Refinery’s gas fractionation unit. Using neural network elements it is now possible to obtain information on this production facility’s condition and status online, and to predict and prevent potential deviations from norm, in advance. This project has been implemented together with Rostechnadzor (the Russian government’s supervisory agency for ecological, technological, and nuclear issues)...

Gazpromneft-Catalytic Systems, operator of the company’s catalyst business, has supplied a commercial batch of diesel-fuel hydrotreatment catalysts to the Omsk Refinery — this 35,000-tonne consignment being intended for use at a diesel-production hydrotreatment facility at the refinery. Test results show this catalyst to demonstrate high activity, allowing a longer service life in comparison with foreign alternatives. Gazprom Neft began active construction of its cutting-edge catalyst facility in...

Gazprom Neft has successfully completed the reactivation of a commercial batch of diesel hydrotreatment process catalysts at its Omsk Refinery — this work having been undertaken using the company’s own proprietary technology, and allowing 95% reactivation of initial catalyst activity. The 2,000-tonne annual-capacity reactivation line forms part of Gazprom Neft’s project to build a modern catalytic-systems production facility. The company’s investment in this project currently stands at RUB30 billion...

Gazprom Neft’s Omsk Refinery has completed its installation of a vibration monitoring system for equipment at key technological facilities. Developed by Russian specialists, the system is integrated with the Omsk Refinery’s general diagnostic network, and helps prevent any potential deviation from standard operations. System installation remains ongoing, with 60% of equipment having been fitted with diagnostic units thus far. The deployment of cutting-edge monitoring and control systems at the Omsk...

The Gazprom Neft Omsk Refinery has completed its installation of compressor equipment at its catalytic reforming unit. Work is now underway as part of a project to modernise the facility, thanks to which the plant will be able to respond flexibly to market demand, as well as increasing production of high-octane fuel components. Investment in the project stands at RUB9.8 billion. Work is expected to be completed in 2020. The project forms a major part of the Omsk Refinery’s development programme,...

The Gazprom Neft Moscow Refinery has deployed an automated production control system for a high-octane gasoline component facility — all hardware and software components for which, including equipment memory hardware and software, were developed by Russian companies based in Novosibirsk and Ekaterinburg. The new complex will control both technological processes and the installation’s safety features. The deployment of this new digital solution forms part of Gazprom Neft’s digital development programme...

Gazprom Neft’s Omsk Refinery is improving the efficiency of its catalytic reforming complex (under a project developed by Gazprom Neft industrial-automation subsidiary Avtomatika-Service) using digital production management.* This move towards new management standards forms part of the plant’s modernisation of its catalytic reforming complex, designed to allow the company to respond more flexibly to market demand. Work is due to be completed in 2020. Using...

Gazpromneft-Catalytic Systems continues to put in place the equipment needed for Russia’s first ever modern refining-catalyst manufacturing plant, with specialists at R&D Enterprise Mashprom having now completed preparations for a consignment of equipment for the plant’s conveyor production line. This future Gazprom Neft enterprise will facilitate the production of 21,000 tonnes of modern catalysts to be used in key processes involved in deep oil refining and the production of Euro-5 fuels. This...
