JSC "Slavneft-YANOS" has put into operation the automated Unit of Fuel Oil On-Spot Loading into the railway wagons which is designed for the shipment of 5.3 MTA of the product.

Engineering design of the Unit was developed by the Company DIPL. ING. SCHERZER GMBH (Germany) as per JSC "Slavneft-YANOS" Technical Assignment on the basis of the cutting edge processes taking into account the requirements of occupational health and safety, industrial safety and environment protection.

The applied process will allow to perform the loading with high accuracy avoiding its overloading or spilling thus reducing the oil products losses in course of the shipment. High level of process automation, availability of the interlocks and special ESD systems enables its safety, convenience of its operation and accurate records of the shipped products.

New Unit replaced the depreciated fuel oil gallery type loading rack which has been in operation since the moment of the Refinery start-up in year 1961. Its commissioning into operation completed the huge work on the revamp of the products shipment system at JSC "Slavneft-YANOS" which was started in year 2005.

Over the past years a lot of contemporary process facilities were put into operation such as Light Oil Products On-Spot Loading Unit into the railway wagons (year 2005), Aromatic Hydrocarbons Leak-proof Loading into the railway wagons (year 2007), Dark Oil Products Loading Station into the motor vehicles (year 2008), Automated Unit of Light Oil Products On-Spot Loading into the railway wagons (year 2015).

The performed work is crucial not only for the increase of industrial safety level and improvement of working conditions at JSC "Slavneft-YANOS" but also from the point of view of the environment protection. New contemporary units compared to the old type open galleries of the oil products loading minimize the risks of the environment pollution and contribute to the Refinery activities aimed at the environment protection, and this is in compliance with the basic priorities of the Refinery development during the recent years.
