Mini Refinery
Fiducia Petroleum Co. Ltd. has developed a unique refining process in limited volumes as a
compact crude oil processing to produce diesel, high octane gasoline grades (of AI92 and/or
AI95), kerosene, LPG, etc. Fiducia Petroleum Co. Ltd. solution is a minimized regular
hydro-cracking method of crude oil refining via utilizing the method of isomerisation and
aromatization.
This business plan calls for setting up a mini refining solution with the capacity to process 2.600 metric
tons (MT) (18.000 bpd) of crude to naphtha and AI92 and/or AI95 octane gasoline in addition to diesel,
LPG, kerosene, etc. through the same process. The complete facility of a mini-refinery can be set up and
operating within 5-7 months.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY : To setup a turnkey brand new state of the art crude oil refinery plant
with Equipment and Machinery of Fiducia Petroleum Co. Ltd. to
site. The refinery is to process 31-42 API crude oil to produce
hydrocarbon fuels such as:
(a) AI92 or AI95 Gasoline
(b) Euro-3, Euro-4 or Euro-5 Diesel
(c) LPG
(d) Naphtha based solvents,
(e) Motor Sprits,
(f) Kerosene
(g) SRFO / HFO
i. Sales of fuel-oil to the market
ii. Converting to electricity with a power plant
PURPOSE: Fiducia Petroleum Co. Ltd. obtains a unique mini refinery project in the
following pages via own know-how, manufacturing and EPC abilities to
handle this project with compact structure and financials. The plant
project road-map can easily be handled in a short period to start up and
supply the market demands.
Fiducia Petroleum Co. Ltd. technology is based on refining the crude to achieve major products.
Obtained 2 major processing for oil refining of Mini Refinery Plant, as a complete solution from crude oil
to high-octane refined oil products. Optimum capacity 900.000 MT/year (±3%) (2.600 MT/day), which
is approximately 6.000.000 barrels/year (18.000 barrels/day) of:
2.1 The Technology: Fiducia Petroleum Co. Ltd. Unique Crude & Reforming
Process
Mini-refineries for the production of motor fuels (oil) are fully equipped modular units,
suitable for immediate installation on the site and to be launched within three weeks after
the equipment is delivered to the to the prepared construction site.
Fractionation of stable gas condensate (low-octane gasoline) and release of fraction of 30-
80°С and 80- 200°С. Catalytic isomerisation and aromatization. of fractions 80-200°С and
release of unstable catalyst Stabilization of unstable catalyst and producing of LPG and
stable catalyst
Fractionation of stable catalyst and release of target gasoline product (with end boiling point
up to 215°С) and removal of heavy residue. Mixing (compounding) of gasoline fraction (with
end boiling point up to 215°С) with the fraction of stable gas condensate of 30-80°С and
producing high-octane gasoline in addition to diesel, fuel oil and LPG.
1. Naphtha (straight-run gasoline) – with final boiling point up to 185 °C. Naphtha is
then used as a basic component in the production of high-octane gasoline.
3. Straight-run fuel oil (residual fraction) - a fraction remained after the primary
distillation with an initial boiling point of about 320 °C. This product is commonly
used in the production of various grades of marine fuel and fuel oil.
Processing of crude oil in the refinery with a specific gravity of 0.865 will produce light
naphtha at the volume of 20% of crude, 30% middle distillate (gasoline and kerosene
fraction), and 50% straight-run fuel oil, as residual fraction.

3 Facility
3.1 Location-Infrastructure
The best suitable place for installing a “Mini Refinery” is nearby port to receive/import crude.
A tank farm, energy, piping, ready-to-use infrastructure also helps for a quick start-up.
The infrastructure requirements for the metaforming plant installation include the following:
• Installation Location – near a port, terminal or crude supply chain as well as a land plot
with industrial infrastructure (automobile or rail roads, power, gas, water supply etc.).
• Power supply – The supply of AC electrical energy from the available power grid is
envisaged. Power supply for the installation is to be AC 380/220 V, 50 Hz. As part of the
equipment for the installation, an uninterruptible power supply unit is to be provided with
a purpose to manage the installation in the cases of emergency or termination of power
supply.
• Compressed air supply – To produce compressed air, two compressors with capacity of
500m³/h is to be considered. Each shall be with a fully automated drying nod. Compressed
air is stored in a tank for compressed air with volume of 70m³. The pressure of the air to
be supplied to the processing station is to be 5kg/cm²
• Natural gas supply – Natural gas is to be supplied from the available gas pipeline. In case
