Attaquant Enterprises is a leading crude oil refinery plant manufacturers, suppliers and exporters in Ethiopia. We offer a state-of-the-art crude oil refinery plant, also known as a petroleum refinery. This industrial facility processes crude oil into a variety of products, including gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, asphalt, heating oil, kerosene, liquefied petroleum gas, and petroleum naphtha.

Crude oil undergoes several processes to produce a wide range of products used for transportation, heating, road paving, and electricity generation. Our crude oil refineries can process various types of crude oil, classified by API gravity and sulfur content, ranging from light to extra heavy and sulfur levels from Class A to Class D. Due to their advanced mechanisms, these refineries are effective in producing petroleum products and serving as feedstock for petrochemical plants.

A detailed description of how our crude oil refinery plant works

As former petroleum refining process manufacturers and suppliers in Ethiopia, our crude oil refinery plant is equipped with new technological innovation and works with smooth mechanisms. Here we have listed down some working processes:

  • Crude Oil Desalting: The raw crude oil contains a lot of impurities such as salts, water, and sediments, which can affect performance and reduce efficiency. Our new technological process, such as electrostatic desalting, uses high-voltage electrostatic fields to separate the droplets and oil. The crude oil is mixed with fresh water and heated, and the whole mixture is sent to the vessel, where the salt and other components can be dissolved. This process can remove all impurities with fewer uses of water.
  • Crude Oil Distillation (Atmospheric and Vacuum Distillation): Crude oil can be separated into various fractions based on their boiling points. The entire process is closely monitored using advanced technology like the Advanced Process Control System (APC), which utilizes new sensors and machine learning algorithms. In this method, crude oil is heated in a furnace and then subjected to distillation, where it is divided into different hydrocarbons such as naphtha, kerosene, and diesel. The heavier compounds that cannot be distilled through atmospheric distillation are redirected to vacuum distillation, where the pressure is reduced.
  • Conversion Process: In this process, the heavy components can be fractioned into light ones, forming multiple products such as gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel. This can be done through three processes:
    • Catalytic Cracking: Heavy fractions are broken into pieces and converted into lighter modules, passing through the catalyst at high temperatures.
    • Hydrocracking: To improve the quality of products, hydrogen is added, similar to catalytic cracking.
    • Coking: The vacuum residue is used in this process, turning them into lighter products and leaving behind solid coke.
    To streamline this process, we utilize a zeolite catalyst in our crude oil refinery plant. This advanced technology helps reduce energy consumption while boosting the production of gasoline and diesel.
  • Hydrotreating: This process enhances the quality of fractions and eliminates sulfur, nitrogen, and other impurities from the refinery streams. The entire mixture is passed over a catalyst at high temperatures, converting sulfur into hydrogen sulfide. Our refinery plant employs modern technology that improves catalyst performance and removes impurities at lower temperatures and pressures. Additionally, AI-powered predictive systems and machine learning algorithms continuously monitor the process, helping to reduce maintenance costs.
  • Reforming and Blending: In the reforming process, naphtha is transformed into high-octane gasoline components and aromatics, commonly used in petrochemicals. With advanced catalysts and regeneration technologies, modern catalysts are more durable and can endure multiple regeneration cycles. After this, the mixture moves on to the blending process. Our blending optimization software, powered by advanced technology, combines different fractions to create petroleum products such as gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel.
  • Treatment of By-Products: For reducing environmental pollution, this process is used for recovering valuable by-products such as sulfur from the refining process. Our new Superclaus technology can remove the impurity and recover sulfur up to 99.5%, which helps reduce emissions.
