Comprehensive Refining Solutions By Zhaikmunai
Our Refining & Processing
Operations & Solutions
Zhaikmunai LLP Refinery operates a fully integrated crude oil processing facility designed to meet the highest international standards. From atmospheric distillation to finished product blending, our advanced refining units transform raw crude into high-value fuels and petrochemicals — delivering reliable, compliant, and environmentally responsible operations at every stage.
Crude Distillation & Processing
Our atmospheric and vacuum distillation units process raw crude into essential fractions — naphtha, kerosene, diesel, and residual fuel oil. Using precision temperature control and multi-stage separation, we maximize yield and ensure consistent feedstock quality for downstream processing. Our units are designed to handle varying crude grades from light sweet to heavy sour, with real-time monitoring and automated control systems ensuring optimal performance 24/7.
Catalytic Cracking & Reforming
Our Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) and catalytic reforming units convert heavy hydrocarbon fractions into high-octane gasoline, light olefins, and aromatic petrochemical feedstocks. These processes are the heart of our value-added refining, transforming low-value residual oils into premium products that meet EURO-5 and international specifications. Continuous catalyst regeneration and advanced reactor design ensure maximum conversion efficiency.
Hydrotreating & Desulfurization
Our high-pressure hydrotreating units remove sulfur, nitrogen, and heavy metals from distillate fractions to produce clean, low-emission fuels. We manufacture EURO-5 compliant diesel and gasoline with sulfur content below 10 ppm. Hydrogen is supplied by our on-site reformer, creating an integrated processing loop that minimizes waste and maximizes energy efficiency across the refinery.
Product Blending & Storage
Our automated in-line blending systems precisely mix gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel components to meet exact client and regulatory specifications. Finished products are stored in certified tanks featuring nitrogen blanketing, vapor recovery, and continuous quality monitoring. From custom octane ratings to seasonal cold-flow additives, we deliver fuels tailored to the demands of Kazakhstan's climate and export markets.
Quality Testing & Laboratory Services
Our on-site analytical laboratory conducts comprehensive testing at every stage of the refining process — from crude assay and intermediate fraction analysis to finished product certification. We measure octane, cetane, sulfur content, viscosity, distillation curves, and flash point using ASTM and GOST methods. Every batch is certified before dispatch, ensuring full compliance with domestic and international fuel standards, and our lab team works directly with clients to confirm products meet their exact specifications before shipment.
Environmental Compliance & Emission Control
Environmental stewardship is integrated into every refining process. We employ sulfur recovery units (Claus process), flue gas desulfurization, wastewater treatment plants, and continuous emissions monitoring systems (CEMS). All operations are certified under ISO 14001, and our environmental management system ensures full compliance with Kazakh and EU environmental regulations.
Natural Gas Processing
Alongside crude refining, we process associated and natural gas to recover valuable light hydrocarbons — propane, butane, and natural gasoline — for both fuel and petrochemical use. Our gas processing team applies the same rigorous safety and quality standards found across the refinery, working with clients to size and tailor gas streams to their specific downstream requirements.
Logistics & Transportation
Our refinery is served by a dedicated fleet of tanker trucks and rail cars, supported by vessel charters for export cargoes, ensuring finished products reach customers on schedule across Kazakhstan and international markets. Our logistics team plans each shipment route and mode — pipeline, rail, road, or sea — to keep delivery efficient and cost-effective, and works directly with clients to coordinate timing around their own supply chains.
Sales Of Petroleum Products
We refine and sell a full slate of petroleum products — gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, fuel oil, and LPG — to companies and consumers across Kazakhstan and international markets. Our sales team structures supply agreements on FOB and CIF terms, matches volumes and grades to each customer's needs, and keeps clients informed on availability as our product slate grows.
Technical Support
Our process engineers are available to advise customers on fuel handling, storage, and product specifications, and to troubleshoot quality or delivery issues as they arise. Whether it's confirming a batch's compatibility with existing equipment or answering questions about a new fuel grade, our technical team works alongside clients before and after every shipment.
