LLC RN-Komsomolsk Refinery (RN-KNPZ, part of Rosneft Oil Company) has opened production of a new “Arctic” type of diesel fuel DT-A2-K5, intended for use in the northern regions, the Komsomolsk-on-site -Amure. The first shipment has already been shipped to consumers. Also, the plant is developing the production of winter diesel fuel of the class 3 DT-Z-K5. Both types of fuel meet the requirements of the highest ecological standard – Euro-5. The main

feature of new products is the lower limiting temperature of filterability: for diesel fuel “Arctic” – to minus 50 degrees, for “winter” – to minus 38 degrees.

As noted, the KHPZ has done a lot of work to revise and determine the optimal formula for mixing components in laboratory conditions, to select the mode of operation of process units, to produce pilot batches, and to prepare the necessary technical documentation.
