- Nelson Complexity:
- Refining Depth:
+++ Brief Description
- A medium sized medium complexity refinery
+++ Refining Units
- [[[Atmospheric Distillation]]]
- Visbreaker
- dewaxing plant,
- three plants for desulphurization of middle distillates,
- reforming system for petrol (JRC),
- two plants of isomerisation gasoline,
- selective hydrogenation of cracked gasoline,
- LPG sweetening unit and light naphtha,
- two sulfur plants
+++ Terminal Capacity
- Crude Oil:
- Refined Products:
+++ Crude Supply
- The refinery receives crude oil at the port of Genoa. Crude oil discharged at Genoa for Tamoil is pumped through the [[[Genoa-Ferrera-Cremona Oil Pipeline]]] to a storage plant at Ferrera, and then on to Cremona.
+++ Products Produced
- liquefied petroleum gas, virgin naphtha for petrochemical plants, jet fuel, petrol, diesel oil, gas oil for heating systems and low sulphur fuel oil.
+++ Ongoing Projects
- For Details see [[[Cremona Refinery Upgrade Project]]]
- The refinery was to be upgraded to enable it to utilise heavier crude and to boost middle distillates.
- The upgrade of existing facilities include works to the crude distillation unit, or CDU, and catalytic dewaxing unit, or CDW.
- New construction includes a vacuum distillation unit, or VDU, integrated to the CDU, a new heavy conversion unit, or HCU, a hydrogen manufacturing unit, or HMU, and transforming the visbreaking unit to diesel thermal cracking.
- Environmental approval was given 13th October 2009.
+++ Other Information
- * The refinery has been [[[Refineries That Are Closed Down | closed down]]] and converted into a terminal
