* Website: http://www.tamoil.com/
* Location: Po valley, Italy
* Capacity: 4.8 million tons/annum & 96,000 bbl/day
* 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

+++ History
* 1965 - Refinery commissioned with 21,000 bpd capacity
