Honeywell Technology Selected to Modernize Kazakhstan Refinery

Technology from Honeywell’s UOP business has been selected by KazMunaiGas’ (KMG) Pavlodar Oil Chemical Refinery (POCR), the largest refiner in Kazakhstan, to help it upgrade its facility and boost the production of gasoline and diesel while meeting Euro-5 standards aimed at reducing motor vehicle pollution. Expected to start-up in 2015, the modernized refinery will process 7.5 million metric tons per year of crude feedstock into gasoline blending components and high-quality diesel.

POCR will use a number of Honeywell’s UOP technologies for its revamp project. Additionally, Honeywell’s UOP and a number of its affiliates will provide key process equipment, catalysts, staff training and technical service for the project.

“UOP technology will play a large role in POCR’s modernization efforts, which will improve its production capacity and help meet strict fuel standards,” said Pete Piotrowski, senior vice president and general manager of Honeywell’s UOP Process Technology and Equipment business unit. “UOP’s technology suite and services will help POCR capture a high return on investment, and we look forward to successful implementation and start-up.”
