The main production processes of high-octane components of motor gasoline are catalytic reforming of straight-run gasoline fraction from the complex of primary oil processing and catalytic cracking of heavy oil fractions (vacuum gas oil). Since 2014 the factory has started to produce unleaded gasoline.

Chemical stability of commercial gasoline is characterized by breakdown time – the time from the beginning of test until the beginning of oxidation process. The longer the breakdown time, the higher gasoline stability to the oxidation is on long storage. The gasoline characterized by breakdown time of not less than 900 min. can keep the properties during the guaranteed storage life (5 years). Motor gasoline should be chemically neutral and non-corroding. Corrosivity of gasoline and residues of its combustion depends on the content of the total and mercaptan sulfphur, acidity, content of water-soluble acids and alkalis, and water.

Diesel fuel

Diesel fuel is mostly produced by mixing of the straight-run component from the complex of primary oil processing with diesel fuel passed through hydrotreating for the purpose of decrease in the content of sulphurous, nitrogenous, oxygenated, metalorganic compounds. Stable operation of engines, reduction of the specific fuel consumption is provided by using of diesel fuel of summer and winter grades. Arabian International Petroleum Corporation (AIPC) has mastered the production of diesel fuel with the low pour point which provides the possibility to operate machinery in the severe winter conditions. It is used in Diesel engines and some types of gas-turbine engines. High compression ratio is achieved in Diesel engine, owing to what the specific fuel consumption in it is lower in 25-30 % than in carburettor engine.
