Sviluppo Economico – MISE” dated January 20, 2015,
in order to be entitled and allowed to export to Russian
Federation the equipment inherent the Project.
In April 2017, APS has met once again all expectations
bringing thus to fulfillment its mission. Modules,
equipment and machinery have been modularized at
the maximum possible level in order to save time and to
reduce field labour during assemblage and installation
in the construction area.
The Modules left the manufacturer’s factory nearly
complete and certified TR CU (Technical Regulation
Custom Union), with most of its support structure, pipe,
instrument stands, electrical wiring, grating, insulation
and other components built-in and ready for operation,
once connection is made to the plant’s systems. The
modules were transported to their final assembly site
into easily portable skids.
The main factors that contributed to the success of this
project have been the APS local presence in the
Russian Federation with its Representative Office in
Moscow, and the technical support of the State Unitary
Enterprise GUP INKHP RB, for the examination of
project and working documentation, including its
conformity to the requirements of the Russian
Federation standards. These local partners allowed
APS to overcome a number of objective difficulties
related to geographical distance, different institutional
standards and language.

Project
n the last few years APS SpA, the Italian
Engineering and Design Global Contractor, signed
a contract with a Company, which operates as a
subsidiary of ROSNEFT Oil Company, for
designing, production and supply of diesel
Ihydrotreating block-module unit. Project
investment was part of the Client’s business targets to
satisfy market needs for petroleum products through
the development of advanced technologies with a
special attention given to increase operational efficiency
and modernization, in compliance with Russian
Regulations. Tarasovskoye field (Yamal-Nenets
Autonomous Region, the Russian Federation) was
chosen as the location of the unit plant and considering
also the harsh ambient conditions, the plant needed to
be designed as a block modular supply to reduce
drastically the installation complexity and time.
The decision of the Client to rely on APS was motivated
by the Company’s functional and technical skills in this
sector, as well as the flexibility and the high expertise in Project highlights
Lump Sum Turn Key plants design and building. In The Diesel Hydrotreating Unit, based on American
order to perform the Contract, since APS operates in License, has a capacity of 15 m3 / h (2264 barrels /
compliance with the regulations and laws, including day); its aim is to reduce the amount of sulfur present in
those which govern the import and export operations, the gasoil within the limits defined by the Russian
APS has obtained the mandatory Authorization from Technical Regulation approved on 27 February 2008.
