The project aims at enhancing the environmental performance of the plant by means of increasing its conversion degree, optimising the use of natural resources and increasing efficiency.
The scope of works, which will be implemented over approximately 40 months, includes detailed design of the project, materials and equipment purchase, new unit construction management and start-up.

With a capacity to treat 2.4 million tonnes per year, the new unit will contribute to increasing the conversion capacity of the plant, transforming residuals streams into high-quality fuels which will be adapted to meet increasingly demanding environmental regulations.
The project will optimise the use of raw materials and improve the unit's efficiency. The new unit is part of the strategic upgrading programme of the Moscow refinery that Gazprom Neft is developing. The primary goal of the programme is to enhance investment in the production of top-quality environmental fuels.
The Spanish company Técnicas Reunidas is one of the most important companies in its sector on an international scale, with a presence in 25 countries and a track record of more than 1,000 industrial plants throughout its 60 years of experience.

Its expertise includes the implementation of engineering projects, the development of industrial plants for the production of clean fuels and petrochemical products, the production and processing of natural gas, and the promotion of advanced low-carbon technologies, such as green hydrogen, CO2 sequestration and capture, biofuels and waste recovery.
In addition to the Russian project, in June Técnicas Reunidas won two contracts in Switzerland for the use of its proprietary technologies in circular economy projects. The company has been selected by two Swiss entities to use the patented technologies in the preliminary engineering of two industrial plants that will be dedicated to the treatment of solid urban waste and sewage sludge.
