Naphthenics newsletter Get the inside scoop on Nynas specialty oils! https://www.nynas.com/en/about/business/rd/ We divide our research into pure and applied. On the pure side, we have a laboratory dedicated to just studying oil – for no other reason except to find out more about its remarkable qualities. The more we learn, the more insightful our product development becomes. On the applied side, our research team has access to advanced laboratories, including bench-scale hydrotreatment units and micro-reactors. These resources allow us to create just the right solution for a given application. We also collaborate with a number of technical colleges and universities, giving students the opportunity to do thesis work or other projects in a vibrant environment. https://www.nynas.com/en/about/business/supply-network/ At the heart of the network are eight refineries, complemented by a string of depots and sales offices, strategically located around the globe. Distribution of naphthenic speciality oils – hubs, facts and figures Currently, we have 23 depots all around the world, of which Antwerp, Houston and Singapore are central storage facilities and blending stations. Last year, some 700,000 tons of oil were transported by sea. There were also 30,000 deliveries by road tanker, 6,000 container transports and 250,000 drums delivered to customers all over the world. To ensure dependable supply to customers – in the event of disruptions, for example – production can be transferred to other refineries and capacity increased at our blending facilities. Bitumen – a reliable supplier To make our customers get their products on time, Nynas has 15 own supply points plus access to another third party supply points across northern Europe – and each one has its own blending facilities. Bitumen transports by road tanker must comply with stringent safety regulations. High levels of safety awareness are maintained through audits and regular meetings with hauliers. https://www.nynas.com/en/about/business/refineries/ Creating value from heavy crude oil Our core competence is to refine extra heavy crude oils into a balanced mix of naphthenic specialty oils and bitumen products that meet global demand patterns Making the most of every drop of oil Every year, 2,5 million tonnes tons of bitumen and naphthenic specialty oils are manufactured in our refineries. The production is carefully monitored 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Hydrotreatment – one of our specialities Few oil companies hydrotreat their distillates as rigorously as we do. How does it work? The distillate is mixed with hydrogen gas at high pressure and temperature over a catalyst bed in the reactor. This 'treatment' removes sulphur and nitrogen, while also reducing aromatic content. The result is a very clean product – ideal for a great many applications. Health and safety first At Nynas, we train and inform our employees at regular intervals in all relevant safety measures and environmental aspects. Our production facilities are checked and serviced regularly and comply with the toughest health and safety standards, which you can read about under Environment.
