At LLP “RBN-OIL”, we offer comprehensive oil refining services, utilizing cutting-edge technology and expertise to transform crude oil into high-quality petroleum products.  The main technological challenges in oil refining today relate to thoroughgoing modernization of refining facilities — something all Kazakhstan oil companies now have to address. Under the auspices of national project, LLP “RBN-OIL” is putting in place new catalyst production facilities, developing unique innovative technology, and significantly improving safety levels in the production of high-performance, environmentally-friendly gasoline.

The refinery includes such high technology equipment as the ED-AV-6 unit (placed in service in 2018) for initial oil refining, a catalytic reforming unit (2019), a gradual coking unit (2020), and a catalytic cracker (2021). The plant’s most important units are the initial refining unit, the ED-AV-6 electric desalter, and the fuel oil vacuum distiller. In order to improve the quality of its petroleum products to meet international standards, technology for cleaning the fuel with alkali and producing naphthenic acid feedstock was acquired under licenses from the Merichem company of the United States.

The range of LLP “RBN-OIL” products includes more than 40 items, many of which are entered into the list of the Kazakhstan’s top 100 goods. The Refinery was awarded the Kazakhstan Republic Government Prize for great achievements in products quality enhancement. Since the late 2019, LLP “RBN-OIL” has been implementing a large-scale upgrading program. Over the past years, more than 20 major industrial facilities were built and revamped at the Refinery. Particularly, an up-to-date deep oil processing plant, consisting of hydro-cracking, catalytic cracking and reforming units, was constructed. Due to step-by-step upgrading of the industrial facilities, LLP “RBN-OIL” managed to significantly increase an oil processing depth and light products yield. In 2020, LLP “RBN-OIL” became one of the first Kazakhstan refineries, which mastered production of gasoline and diesel oil under the Euro-5 standard.
