Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) - On 6 February 2020, President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev held a meeting to discuss the effectiveness of the oil and gas industry and the challenges this year to increase the production of natural gas and liquid hydrocarbons. It was criticized the fact that, despite the created conditions, systemic problems do not disappear, negatively affect the development of other industries, the need of our people, entrepreneurs for a stable supply of oil, gas, and electricity is not fully provided.
President Shavkat Mirziyoyev instructed Mehriddin Abdullaev, the chairman of the board of Uzbekneftegaz JSC, who participated in the meeting, to determine the urgent tasks to be implemented in the oil and gas sector this year.
In order to ensure the fulfillment of the tasks set by JSC Uzbekneftegaz, the Road Map has been developed, which includes phased modernization and reconstruction of the Bukhara Oil Refinery in terms of the production of high-quality and environmentally friendly diesel fuel.
The quality of the petroleum products (gasoline and diesel fuel) produced at the plant met the requirements of the Euro-2 standard, and to bring its quality in line with world standards, the currently used catalyst and zeolite were replaced.
Due to quarantine, specialists from the French company Axens were unable to take part in replacing the catalyst for the gas oil treatment plant. Specialists of the plant and company online according to the Axens scheme by the forces of the company’s specialists, a new catalytic system was installed at the reactor.
As a result, on 30 March 2020, for the first time in the history of Uzbekistan, the production of environmentally friendly and high-quality diesel fuel of the Euro-4 and Euro-5 classes was launched.
According to laboratory analyzes, the amount of sulfur compounds in the resulting diesel fuel is 3 ppm, which corresponds to Euro-5 diesel fuel (not more than 10 ppm). This device is capable of producing up to 100,000 tons of Euro-5 diesel fuel per year according to the existing technological scheme.
It should be noted that Euro-4 and Euro-5 fuels have such advantages as increasing engine performance, reducing corrosion, reducing exhaust emissions and extending cylinder services.
