Rompetrol Rafinare, a member company of KMG International, has successfully completed the turnaround of the Petromidia refinery and has initiated the restart of the production units. In the next period, they will re-enter the operational flow and gradually reach the nominal capacities.

“The general turnaround is an absolutely necessary and mandatory measure to carry out our activity in complete safety, but also to protect employees, communities in the area and the environment. Through the preventive measures adopted at the level of the Petromidia platform, we managed, together with all those involved, to carry out these works safely and without incidents during the 45 days”, said Felix Crudu Tesloveanu, General Manager of Rompetrol Rafinare.

The works were coordinated by Rominserv, the provider of technological solutions for the KMG International Group. For the general turnaround of the Petromidia refinery, only Romanian companies were contracted.

In total, almost 1,500 works were executed. In the 45 days, the teams intervened on a number of 1,000 static machines, 150 rotative machines, over 2,600 pipes and tubes and approximately 560 electrical machines.
