Belarusian chemical industry was born here, on the ancient Polotsk land, on the left bank of the Western Dvina river. The Novopolotsk oil refinery was the flagship of the contemporary branch of economy and currently is an important integral part of the industrial system of the country.

Dear Sirs!

The first Belorussian refining enterprise was established on February 9, 1963. During about 50 years of its history more than 690 million tons of crude oil were processed at the refinery. Nowadays OJSC “Naftan” is a company which uses modern processes and is continuously working at increasing the production efficiency.

In 2005 another stage of large-scale reconstruction program was completed featured by starting up technological plants which form a part of hydrocracking complex. As the result of it diesel fuel with ultra-low sulphur content, less than 0,001 mass %, was produced that complies with Euro-5 specification. At present OJSC “Naftan” produces diesel fuel only with sulphur content less than 0,005 and 0,001 mass %.

Fuel oil yield reduction down to 6-8 %;
Compliance of product specifications with existing and future requirements of European Community countries;
Development of infrastructure (tank storage stations, inter-plant communication, power and water supply) ;
Measures to improve power supply and to reduce power consumption.

After realization of the program OJSC “Naftan” will achieve the level of modern refineries featuring intensity of processing not less than 92%.

At present 22 major investment projects are being implemented at OJSC “Naftan”. Primary refining plant AT-8, low temperature isomerization plant “Penex”, vacuum block of “Visbreaking” are under construction. Realization of delayed coking plant project has been started.

Large scale reconstruction is becoming possible owing to implementation of a number of bold technological solutions, precise and coordinated work of the whole company team, support of the Government and the Head of State.
