Summary Information

Brief Description

  • The refinery is a mid sized complex refinery that processes heavy crude oil.

Refining Units

  • Atmospheric Distillation - 85,000 bpd
  • Fluidised Catalytic Cracker - 25,000 bpd
  • Coker - 24,000 bpd
  • Diesel Desulphurisation
  • Hydrogen plant - Haldar Topsoe -
  • Sulphur Recovery Plant - Ortloff

Terminal Capacity

  • The total storage capacity of 400,000 m3 is achieved with 74 storage tanks
  • It also has 12 tanks (bullets and spheres) for LPG storage with a total capacity of 2 million liters.

Crude Supply

  • The refinery, designed to process mainly heavy crude (only 20% of light crude)
  • Oil Tanking's Brandsen Terminal was developed to supply 100 percent of the crude-oil needs of the Campana Refinery in the province of Buenos Aires, Argentina, through a supply system with a starting point in Oiltanking's Puerto Rosales terminal.
  • The crude oil is initially received by pipeline or vessel at the Puerto Rosales Terminal, then stored and mixed into batches and subsequently pumped through the Puerto Rosales-La Plata Pipeline, owned by Repsol-YPF, to Brandsen.
