Mini-Refineries are skid mounted, modular crude oil distillation units (CDU) which process from 200-10,000 BPD of crude oil and are capable of producing numerous finished products including naphtha (straight run gasoline), kerosene, diesel and fuel oil. A reformer may be added for producing high-octane gasoline.

What is a modular mini refinery?
Modular mini refineries are best utilized in emerging economies and in remote locations where gasoline, diesel and fuel oil are needed. The local crude oil is normally your lowest cost feed stock because the transportation costs are minimized. Mini refineries with heavy crudes and low API gravity produce more fuel oil and less naphtha and diesel.
Are modular-mini refineries a good choice for oil producers?
Despite generally low return on investment, modular-mini refineries from simple diesel production units to more sophisticated refineries are increasingly becoming a choice of flexible and cost-effective supply for oil producers in remote regions, particularly in developing economies with reasonable to rich oil resources.
