Refinement Process
The Kam oil facility has the capacity to refine 500 metric tons of crude oil per day, with storage tankers available to store 25,000-28,000 tons of crude and processed oil. All refined products are then inspected by SGS, an international inspection and quality-control company. Sector matures, it is expected that more local staff will be qualified to fill senior technical positions within the company.
Stage 2:
Mazut (also referred to as “fuel oil” or “waste oil”) can be sold as is or undergo a second stage of processing. Mazut that undergoes a second round of processing results in the production of wide oil fraction (65% of output), diesel (10%) and tar oil (25%).
Stage 1:
The refining process takes place in two phases. The first
phase involves the conversion of the crude oil to mazut (50%
of the output), diesel (40%), and naphtha (8%). 2% of the
processed crude is discarded as industrial waste.
