“Recently implemented projects will help us increase the volumes obtained, but also to achieve greater flexibility in adapting to market requirements. This is another very important step that we are taking to align both with international standards and the innovative tendency to reach the industrial revolution -Industry 4.0,” said Yedil Utekov, general director of Rompetrol Rafinare.
Petromidia currently operates two in-line blending units for fuels (gasoline, diesel), which were built and introduced in the technological flow in 2003, respectively in 2006. The main role of these units is to use the specific recipes for the preparation of the finished products that arrive at the fuel stations.
Rompetrol Rafinare operates Petromidia Navodari – the largest refinery in Romania and one of the most modern and complex in the Black Sea region, Vega Ploiesti – the longest running processing unit in operation (1905) and the only domestic bitumen and hexane producer, and the petrochemicals division – the sole polymer producer in Romania.
The company is mainly owned by KMG International (54.63% owned directly and indirectly) and the Romanian state through the Ministry of Energy (44.69%).
