Azerbaijan, Baku, Feb.3 /Trend E.Ismayilov/
The State Oil Company of Azerbaijan (SOCAR) has repaired the installation of the primary processing of crude oil number 21 ED-AVQ- 6 at Heydar Aliyev refinery, SOCAR said on Friday.
As its stop for repair might affect the activity of other technological installations, the extensive repairs of gasoline recycling block was implemented without the suspension of the entire ED-AVQ-6. The company plans to repair atmospheric, vacuum and other units without the suspension of the installation.
But there is a work, which can't be implemented without the suspension of ED-AVQ-6. In this regard installation number 22 was commissioned in order to provide raw materials to installations number 55 and 43. Some shortcomings were revealed during its testing. The shortcomings are being eliminated.
SOCAR has two refineries. SOCAR processes oil from the fields of land and sea at own expense at the Baku refineries with total capacity of 20 million tons per year.
