Sannazzaro de Burgondi Refinery
Summary Information Ownership: ENI Website: http://www.eni.com/ List of ENI Refineries Location: Po Valley, Italy Capacity: 9.0 million tons/annum & 180,000 bbl/day Nelson Complexity: Refining Depth: 61.2% Brief Description A large highly medium complexity refinery, Eni believes that this unit is among the most efficient refineries in Europe. Refining Units Atmospheric Distillation Vacuum Distillation Fluid catalytic cracker (FCC), Mild hydrocracker (HDCK) Isomerisation unit - 10,000 bpd Visbreaking thermal conversion unit Catalytic Reformer Sulphur Recovery Gasoil Desulphurisation Gasification facility Bitumen Blowing Unit - 150,000 t/y Terminal Capacity Crude Oil: Refined Products: Crude Supply The high degree of flexibility of this refinery allows it to process a wide range of feedstock The refinery is located along the course of the oil pipeline connecting up the terminal in Genoa with the Swiss French canton. The quantity of crude oil received from Genoa, coming by ship mainly from Russia, Africa, North Europe and the Middle East, amounts to about 90%. The remaining quantity also comes by oil pipeline from the Villafortuna oilfields near Trecate (Novara). Products Produced LPG, Gasoline, Jet Fuel, Diesel, Bunker Fuel, Asphalt, Sulphur Ongoing Projects Eni plans to develop a conversion plant employing the Eni Slurry Technology with a 23 kbbl/d capacity for the processing of extra heavy crude with high sulphur content producing high quality middle distillates, in particular gasoil, and reducing the yield of fuel oil to zero. Start-up of this facility is scheduled in 2012.
