Extensive Conversion Through Modern Technology

MIDOR Refinery process selection was based on full conversion of heavy products (vacuum gas oils and vacuum residue) to produce light and middle distillate products with zero fuel oil production.

UOP Hydrocracking and ConocoPhilips Delayed Coker technologies were selected for this purpose.

Distributed Control System (DCS) The process units, utilities and facilities in Midor complex are controlled and monitored by a Distributed Control System (DCS) installed in the main control room.  The DCS system is integrated with other control systems through Programmable Logic Controllers spread in eight Satellite Control Centers properly distributed over the refinery.

These Satellite Control Centers are normally unmanned and connected to the main control room through fiber optic cables.

SCADA SYSTEM - (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition)
The SCADA System provides fully integrated monitoring, data acquisition, on-off remote controls for the motor operated values and supervision of the pipeline facilities.

The system also provides local control, logic functions and man machine interface MMI (only for Dekheila Port facilities) and DCS communication via based local access network (LAN).

 Quality Control
Quality Control is assured through a well-equipped up-to-date chemical laboratory with sophisticated instrumental & electronic analysis apparatus & qualified personnel to enable MIDOR to comply with stringent worldwide specifications of petroleum products. In addition to online analyzers for quality control.

Refinery Design Capacity
The refinery is designed to process a wide range of crude oils, at rated capacity  of 100,000 bbls (about 5 MM Tons / year).
