Mozyr NPZ refinery to raise NCI from 9.73 to 11.81 after launching H-Oil plant
MINSK, Oct 11 - PrimePress. Mozyr Oil Refinery (Gomel Oblast) will see its Nelson Complexity Index (NCI) grow from 9.73 to 11.81 after launching a proprietary heavy oil residue hydrocracking complex (H-Oil), the company’s press-service said.
At the moment, the Mozyr refinery is busy performing start-up operations and plans to get its H-Oil plant operation any time soon.
As previously reported, in Sep 2021 the Mozyr refinery embarked on a new stage of start-up operations at the H-Oil plant - catalyst loading. As the H-Oil catalyst differs from other catalysts used in the plant’s processes, the loading specialists involved had to apply special technical solutions.
