Exheat Industrial Immersion Heaters at Lukoil Volgograd Refinery

Exheat Industrial announced today that it will provide electric heating solutions for Lukoil's modernisation project on its Volgograd refinery

Exheat Industrial will supply flameproof rod-type immersion heaters that will help directly in the boil-off gas re-liquefaction process in the Vacuum Gasoil (VGO) Deep Conversion Complex.

Construction of the new complex is stipulated by the Four-way Agreement on Modernisation of Russia's Oil Processing signed by Lukoil, intending to increase the production of high-octane petrol - while the enterprise's capacity will increase from 10.5 to 12-14 million tons per year by 2014. The move aims to satisfy the needs of the Southern federal region and with its complete upgrade, plans to increase the depth of oil refining from 83 to 95 percent. (Source: Lukoil, A Barrel Full)
