Rompetrol Rafinare, member company of the KMG International (Rompetrol) Group, will stop operational activity at the Petromidia Năvodari and Vega Ploieşti refineries to carry out the scheduled intermediate technological turnaround at the beginning of March, for a period of around 20 days.
The technological shutdown is carried out according to a calendar, with general turnarounds scheduled at 4-year intervals and technological shutdowns at 2-year intervals for intermediate works.
The works scheduled for this period will focus on inspections and reauthorizations of the production units and operational flows, in accordance with the legislation in force. At the same time, equipment cleaning will be carried out, along with preventive inspections and the replacement of certain components, such as catalysts, to maintain and increase production yields, ensure product quality, and guarantee safe, full-capacity operation for employees and the environment.
The works will be carried out by Rominserv, the general contractor for the KMG International Group, with support from other companies specialized in this sector.
The turnaround of the two refineries is being carried out simultaneously, as the Vega refinery uses finished and semi-finished materials supplied by Petromidia Năvodari.
Throughout this period, the company will continue to meet its contractual obligations, with deliveries of petroleum products to customers being ensured from its own stocks or with the support of the KMG International Group’s trading division.
The significant shareholders of Rompetrol Rafinare SA are KMG International (54.63% – direct and indirect) and the Romanian State through the Ministry of Energy (44.7%).
