Catalytic cracking is one of the most important conversion processes in oil refineries, used to convert heavy hydrocarbons into lighter compounds with higher economic value. In this process, large hydrocarbon molecules are broken down into smaller molecules in the presence of a catalyst. The main purpose of catalytic cracking is to increase the production of…
Oil infrastructure is an essential part of the energy industry and plays a direct role in the production, transportation, storage, and distribution of oil and petroleum products. Without adequate infrastructure, even high production capacity cannot be transformed into a stable and efficient supply chain. Therefore, the construction of oil infrastructure is considered one of the…
Crude Oil Storage Tanks Crude oil storage tanks are an important part of the energy supply chain, responsible for safely storing crude oil before it is transferred to refineries, export terminals, or other segments of the oil supply chain. Increasing production capacity and the expansion of energy trade have led to the integration of new…
Refinery Construction It is one of the most complex projects in the oil and gas industry, requiring substantial investment, engineering expertise, advanced technology, and precise management. A modern refinery is not merely a collection of equipment and process units; rather, it is an integrated system encompassing engineering, equipment procurement, construction, quality control, safety, and operations.…
Bitumen is one of the most important petroleum products, widely used in various industries due to its physical and chemical properties. Road construction, asphalt paving, waterproofing, building construction, and certain chemical industries are among the main areas where bitumen is used. . What Is Bitumen Sales and Why Is It Important? Bitumen Sales It is…
Oil refinery units are a collection of specialized and interconnected sections, each of which plays a specific role in converting crude oil into valuable products. Using units such as atmospheric distillation, vacuum distillation, cracking, hydrotreating, reforming, isomerization, and sulfur recovery, an oil refinery converts crude oil into products such as gasoline, diesel, kerosene, jet fuel,…
Bitumen Exports It is one of the important sectors of the oil industry and one of the effective pathways for Iran’s presence in international petroleum product markets. Due to its widespread applications in road construction, asphalt production, insulation, and infrastructure projects, bitumen is in significant demand in many markets around the world. However, success in…
Export Bitumen It is one of the most important petroleum products in international markets, and its quality plays a direct role in customer satisfaction and the success of export transactions. Today, foreign customers focus not only on product price but also on technical specifications, quality consistency, packaging, transportation conditions, and shipment traceability. For this reason,…
Penetration grade bitumen is one of the most widely used types of refinery bitumen, classified according to its hardness and softness. This type of bitumen is produced through the crude oil refining process and, due to its good adhesion, water resistance, and excellent performance in road construction, asphalt paving, and certain civil engineering applications, is…
With the growing global demand for gasoline, diesel, and other light petroleum products, oil refineries must maximize the value obtained from every barrel of crude oil. Since a significant portion of crude oil consists of heavy hydrocarbons, a process known as cracking was developed to convert these heavy molecules into lighter, more valuable products. Today,…
