MIDOR refinery is designed to hold a production capacity of 5 million tonnes per year of wide range of crude oil as well as various crude blends. The design depends on the deep conversion of low value heavy products like gasoil, into high quality middle and light distillate products. The licensors of the design are international companies, like UOP for Hydrocracker and ConocoPhillips for Delayed Coker.

Distributed Control System ( DCS )
The process units, utilities, crude facilities and product dispatching are controlled and monitored
by a Distributed Control System ( DCS ) installed in the main Control Centers through (fiber optic cables) .
|
SCADA System - (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition)
To secure equipment and utilized pipeline safety; the SCADA System provides fully integrated monitoring, data acquisition, an on-off remote controls for the motor operated valves and supervision of the pipeline facilities during receiving crude oil and product dispatching.
Quality Control
Quality Control is assured through well-equipped up-to-date chemical laboratory with instrumental and electronic analysis apparatus & qualified personnel to enable MIDOR to comply with stringent worldwide specifications of petroleum products and online analyzers for quality control.
MIDOR's conversion units are distinguished by their high flexibility during refining and processing operations, with the capability of processing wide range of crude oil blends of different ratios; the majority of feedstock was Arabian Crude Oil and some local crude. In addition to reprocessing other low value distillates like Light Cycle Oil (LCO); to increase the diesel productivity to cover the local market demand for this strategic important product.
MIDOR refinery is distinguished by its ability to reprocess some low quality products such as Fuel Oil (residual oil) and Waxy Distillates (VGO). Whereas they are converted into high quality products using Hydrocracker and Delayed Coker benefiting from the available capacity in these two units and to reach their ultimate operation capacity.
With MIDOR's successful supply chain system; the company effectively attained the needed capability of inventory control of petroleum products, thus participated in achieving high revenue compared to other refineries, through a keen provision of global markets and price trends during deficiency periods and thus attaining highest prices.
