Challenge

For the first time in Central Asia, it was required to fully convert a catalytic reforming unit into an isomerization unit; a highly complex project demanding 100% redesign and engineering modification.

Almas Solution

  • Full reverse engineering and process re-design
  • Supply of 21,000 kg of specialized catalyst
  • Training of engineering and operational teams
  • Direct supervision until operational stability was achieved

Results

  • Capacity: 4,000 barrels per day
  • Gasoline quality: 81.5 RON in Through-Once mode
  • First successful project of its kind in the region
  • Contract extended for subsequent collaboration projects
