Rompetrol Rafinare, a member of the KMG International Group, has allocated nearly $10 million to renew the Hydrogen Power Plant (HPP) at the Petromidia refinery in Navodari, Romania. The project involved replacing the subassemblies of the reformer furnace, including 114 vertical tubes crucial for the reforming reaction. Florian Daniel Pop, the General Director of Rompetrol Rafinare, highlighted the project's complexity and importance in maintaining operational standards and production capacity. The investment aimed to ensure a service life of 12 years for the subassemblies in the HPP unit, crucial for the refinery's operations. The modernization project, executed by subcontractors under Rominserv's supervision, focused on ensuring a steady supply of hydrogen, used primarily for sulphur extraction and fuel production to Euro5 standards. The HPP has a capacity of 40,000 cubic meters/hour with high purity levels. Furthermore, in 2024, Rompetrol Rafinare plans to invest over $140 million, with a significant portion directed towards modernization and efficiency enhancement projects at the Petromidia refinery. This investment reflects the company's commitment to maintaining operational excellence and aligning with industry standards, ensuring sustainable operations and economic impact in the region.
