Lukoil-Nizhegorodnefteorgsintez, a subsidiary of Lukoil, has broken ground on construction of a deep conversion, delayed coking complex at its 17 million-tonne/year Kstovo refinery in central Russia’s Nizhny Novgorod region. Alongside a delayed coker, the 2.1-million tonne/year complex—which began construction on Aug. 29—will include a diesel hydrotreater, a gas fractionator, hydrogen and sulfur production units, as well as infrastructure installations, Lukoil said.
