The Gela Refinery, with a balanced primary refining capacity of 100, 000 barrels/day, represents an upstream integrated pole with the production of heavy crude oil obtained from nearby Eni fields offshore Sicily, while downstream it is integrated with Eni’s nearby petrochemical plants. The refinery produces fuels for automotive use and residential heating purposes as well as petrochemical feedstocks. Besides its primary distillation plants, the Gela refinery contains an FCC reactor with advanced technology, two coking plants for the conversion of low grade feedstock’s and vacuum conversion of heavy residues. All these plants are integrated in order to process heavy residues and manufacture valuable products and produce electricity. The refinery also contains modern residue and exhaust fume treatment plants which allow the complex to comply with the most exacting environmental standards. Crude oil and oil products are handled on land and by sea. The maritime facilities have a receiving capacity of about 900 ships per year equating to a total of 9 million tonnes of products. For the distribution of products by land, the refinery has 13 platforms to load tank trucks, with a capacity of about 3 500 tonnes/day.
