Rompetrol Rafinare continues to progress its strategic programme at Petromidia refinery, Năvodari, Romania, through capital reimbursement and the modernisation of five storage tanks.
A gasoline tank’s capacity will be increased from 5,000m3 to 6,000 m3; two tanks used to store diesel and components will be expanded from 10,000m3 to 12,000m3; a 57,000m3 crude oil tank is being reworked; and a distillate tank will be increased from 5,000m3 to 6,000m3. In the first half of 2026, the Petromidia refinery processed almost 2.6 million tons (2.2 million tonnes) of raw materials, which produced about 2.1 million tons (1.9 million tonnes) of fuels.
Sorin Graure, general director of Rompetrol Rafinare, comments: ‘Rompetrol Rafinare places strong emphasis on critical storage infrastructure by ensuring a high degree of operational reliability, reducing maintenance costs, and extending the lifespan of equipment. The new tanks and associated systems are designed in line with the latest industrial safety and environmental protection standards. At the same time, the programme will also bring a 20% increase in storage capacity for raw materials and petroleum products.’
