Attaquant Enterprises is a leading crude oil refinery plant manufacturers, suppliers and exporters in South Africa. We are providing a new technological crude oil refinery plant, which is also known as a petroleum refinery, an industrial plant that breaks down crude oil into various products such as gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, asphalt, heating oil, kerosene, liquefied petroleum gas and petroleum naptha.
This crude oil is broken down into various processes to produce multiple products used for transportation, heating, paving roads, and generating electricity. Our crude oil refineries can handle a wide range of crude oil types, defined by API gravity and sulfur content, from light to extra heavy and sulfur content from Class A to Class D. Recent technological advancements, such as hydrocracking and catalytic cracking, enhance the efficiency and yield of our refining processes. Due to their advanced mechanisms, these refineries are applied in the production of petroleum products and feedstock for petrochemical plants, contributing to South Africa's energy sustainability goals.
As former petroleum refining process manufacturers and suppliers in South Africa, our crude oil refinery plant is equipped with new technological innovation and works with smooth mechanisms. Here we have listed down some working processes:
To simplify this process, we use a zeolite catalyst, which is a new advanced technological process that we use in our crude oil refinery plant. It reduces energy consumption and increases the production of gasoline and diesel.
We have attached below a technical specification sheet which will helps you for clarifying important technical aspects about our crude oil refinery:
Process | Description | Key Technologies | Output Products | Typical Operating Conditions |
---|---|---|---|---|
Crude Oil Desalting | Removes salts, water, and suspended solids from crude oil before distillation. This protects downstream equipment from corrosion and fouling. |
• Electrostatic Desalters • Chemical Demulsifiers • Wash Water Injection Systems |
• Desalted Crude Oil • Brine (containing salts and water) |
Temperature: 120-150°C Pressure: 10-15 bar |
Crude Oil Distillation | Separates crude oil into various fractions such as naphtha, kerosene, and diesel based on boiling points. |
• Atmospheric Distillation Unit (ADU) • Vacuum Distillation Unit (VDU) • Preheat Exchangers |
• Gasoline • Kerosene • Diesel • Heavy Gas Oils Residual Fuels |
Temperature: ADU (~350°C) VDU (up to 400°C) Pressure: ADU (1-2 bar) VDU (10-20 mbar) |
Conversion Process | Upgrades heavy fractions into lighter, more valuable products like gasoline and diesel by cracking, coking, and other processes. |
• Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) • Hydrocracking (HC) • Delayed Coking • Visbreaking |
• Gasoline • Diesel • LPG • Coke |
Temperature: FCC (~500°C) HC (350-450°C) Pressure: HC (100-200 bar) |
Hydrotreating | Removes sulfur, nitrogen, oxygen, and metals from various fractions by reacting them with hydrogen, improving product quality and meeting environmental regulations. |
• Hydrotreaters • Hydrogen Supply Unit • Catalysts (Molybdenum, Nickel, Cobalt) |
• Low-sulfur fuels • Hydrogen Sulfide (H₂S) |
Temperature: 300-450°C Pressure: 30-150 bar |
Reforming and Blending | Catalytic reforming converts low-octane naphtha into high-octane gasoline components. Blending combines different fractions to produce finished fuels (gasoline, diesel, jet fuel). |
• Catalytic Reformers (Platinum-based catalysts) • Blending Equipment |
• High-octane gasoline • Reformate (aromatics, hydrogen) |
Temperature: 500-550°C (Reforming) Pressure: 10-30 bar (Reforming) |
Treatment of By-Products | Processes by-products like sour gas, sulfur, and water, ensuring they are converted into useful products or disposed of safely, following environmental standards. |
• Amine Treating Unit • Claus Sulfur Recovery Unit • Sour Water Stripper |
• Elemental Sulfur • Treated Water • Fuel Gas |
Temperature: 250-300°C (Sulfur Recovery) Pressure: 1-5 bar |
