The midstream segment involves processes around storage, refining and transportation of the crude oil into consumable oil and gas products. There is only one refinery in Kenya today

Within refining facilities, a vast diversity of techniques is needed to properly refine petroleum crude oil, and to process and purify raw natural gas. Refiners need a complete suite of

This paper therefore aims to explore the refining of oil and gas operations in Kenya. It analyses the history, development and future potential of the midstream sub-sector of the oil and gas industry. Furthermore, it evaluates the challenges facing the oil refining industry and makes

The Petroleum Act of 2025, section 40 to section 44 outlines the decommissioning process of gas and oil infrastructure in Kenya. However, it seems to be geared more towards the upstream

In February 2025, the Kenyan government announced that it will not construct a local refinery to process crude oil from the Turkana oil fields, opting instead to export all its crude oil while continuing to import

Oil Refinery In the oil refining process, fuel oil, gasoline, naphtha, and other substances are refined from crude oil. This process utilizes the fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) system,

KPRL was established in 1959 with a primary mandate of processing imported crude with the refined products sold in Kenya and the East Africa region. The refinery complex was shut down on 4 th September 2025.

Crude oil distillation is a crucial separation process in the petroleum refining industry, where crude oil is fractionated into various components based on their boiling points.

Oil is the most widely-traded energy commodity, with millions of barrels of both crude oil and refined oil products flowing each day from producer to consumer countries through a global network of pipelines, tankers,

First Stage of Vegetable Oil Refining Process Degumming is the first process in the vegetable oil refining which commences with the heating of crude oil. The feedstock is taken into the degumming vessel where the temperature

This paper therefore aims to explore the refining of oil and gas operations in Kenya. It analyses the history, development and future potential of the midstream sub-sector of the oil and gas

Explore the significance of diesel fraction in crude oil refining and its impact on diesel fuel production. This comprehensive guide covers the characteristics of middle distillates, the

The Kenya Petroleum Refineries Limited was originally set up by Shell and the British Petroleum Company BP to serve the East African region in the supply of a wide variety of oil products.

High Efficiency Waste Oil Refining Machine Black The oil pump is driven into waste oil and the catalyst is vacuum extracted. Start the blender. This process takes about 3 hours. 3. The

High efficiency, low costs and a focus on sustainability are essential factors for staying competitive in the oil refining business. Alfa Laval’s solutions for refineries offer a straightforward way to improve profitability while

Abstract Fouling in heat exchangers significantly compromises energy efficiency in crude oil refining, leading to increased operational costs and environmental impacts. This study presents a

1. Introduction Two processes have been developed for the refining of edible oils and fats, i.e. physical and chemical refining; the decision which process to use depends on the types and qualities of the crude oil to be processed

2. Bleaching Section in palm oil refinery Palm oil bleaching section is mainly used to remove oil pigment, residual soap and metal ions during palm oil milling process. 3. Deodorization Section in palm oil refinery Palm oil

The oil refining industry's efficiency is derived from the prices of petroleum products (Naphtha, Gasoline, Kerosene, Diesel, and Fuel Oil) using the portfolio theory. The panel data

Typical fuel mix at refineries includes natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, refinery (fuel) gas, coke, crude oil, distillate and residual fuel oil, and purchased steam.
