Project Description: The particular feature and advantage of the fluid bed hydrocracking process is the possibility to renew the catalyst during the operation, which provides the opportunity to process virtually any heavy residue at the constant pressure drop and other process variables during the whole turnaround period. The planned volume of heavy oil residue conversion is 3000 thousand tons per annum. А4a. Project cost (mln USD): 262.2 A5. Background / history / overall programme / related or similar projects: JSC «Mozyr Oil Refinery» was commissioned in 1975. Up to year 1994 it was a state enterprise and starting from 01.04.1994 was reorganized into a joint stock company. In the authorized fund of JSC «Mozyr Oil Refinery» the share of Republic of Belarus makes up 42,7%, that of JSC «NGK «Slavneft» – 42,6% and of other entities – 14,7%. The main activities of the refinery are oil refining, production and sale of oil products. Actually the Joint Stock Company forms a part of the state concern «Belneftekhim». Main products are motor gasoline, including high-octane gasoline, different fuels, including environmental friendly diesel fuel with sulphur content of 0,005, household gas, technical butane, isopentane, vacuum gasoil, bitumen, sulphur. From 2003 the refinery has an ISO 9001-2000 Quality Certificate. The share of certified products makes up 95% of the total output. A6. Environmental impact summary: Assessment of the environmental impact requires an additional study. A7. Possible obstacles/ problems/ risk assessment: The following factors have a positive impact on the risk of project implementation: – JSC «Mozyr Oil Refinery» is sufficiently stable financially and has a good credit history. – The principal crude-oil supplier is JSC «NGK «Slavneft», which is a shareholder of the refinery. Besides, the alternative crude oil suppliers are elaborated. – Guaranteed sales of products both in the foreign and domestic markets. A8. Term of realization / term of recoupment (years): 4/A9.
