Core Feedstock Portfolio
The Heydar Aliyev Refinery provides a diverse range of chemical precursors essential for the production of plastics, polymers, and synthetic materials.
Azerikimya (EP-300 unit)
Primary input for steam cracking to produce ethylene and propylene.
SOCAR Polymer
Used for the production of high-density polyethylene and polypropylene.
Export & Domestic Industry
Essential for synthetic rubber and MTBE production.
Azerikimya
Utilized in pyrolysis and as a specialized fuel for chemical plants.
Integrated Supply Chain Services
The refinery’s offer goes beyond simple product sales; it provides an integrated logistical and technical service designed to ensure the stability of the petrochemical value chain:
-
Continuous Pipeline Delivery: Direct pipeline links to the Azerikimya Steam Cracking Plant ensure a seamless, "just-in-time" flow of naphtha and gaseous feedstock, minimizing storage overhead and transportation risks.
-
Modernized Storage & Filling: A newly commissioned LPG filling station and a fleet of specialized tank farms (including 22 new storage units) allow for the rail and pipeline export of nearly 180,000 tons of propane-propylene annually.
-
Custom Chemical Specification: Through its new laboratory and units like the C4 Hydrogenation and Naphtha Separator, the refinery can tailor the purity and composition of feedstock to meet specific industrial requirements (e.g., Euro-5 standards).
Impact of the Modernization Project
Recent upgrades have significantly enhanced the refinery's capacity to serve the petrochemical sector:
Production Stability
The installation of 19 new units (including Fluid Catalytic Cracking and Isomerization) has increased the yield of high-value light products.
Efficiency Gains
By integrating refining and petrochemistry, SOCAR has reported a potential increase in profitability from 17% to 25-35% due to lower-cost internal feedstock transfers.
Sustainability
New sewage treatment and flare systems ensure that the feedstock production process adheres to modern environmental mandates.
