Our primary goal is to:- Optimizing production Quantity Improving products quality.

Improving efficiency.a- Replacing North Refinery’s Control System with DCS

system.b- Upgrading Sal. 1, Sal. 2, and N.R. refinery.c- Replacing old pumps and compressor with new ones.d- Replacing old Furnace's tubs with new ones.

  e- Replacing old North Refinery’s boilers with new ones.Enhancing safety and security.

Reducing downtime.

Be green with the environment. Rehabilitation North Refinery’s Waste Water Treatments to improve water quality that is been discharged to the river.
