The diesel fuel isodewaxing unit will produce arctic diesel fuel with high environmental performance and low temperature properties.
The construction thereof contributes to the implementation of the state strategy for the development of the Arctic and the Far North Regions.

The delayed coking unit has been designed to obtain an additional volume of distillate fractions and petroleum coke from heavy oil refining residues.
The commissioning of UZK-2 will increases the annual productivity of the TANECO Complex to 15.96 million tonnes in terms of processed raw materials, while maintaining the processing depth at the level of 99%.

The installation has been erected within the shortest possible time period of 2 years, while usually the construction of such large facilities takes from 3 to 5 years.

When constructing the new units, TATNEFT has ensured the orders for the Russian machine-building enterprises.
The share of domestic equipment in the installations for catalytic isodewaxing of diesel fuel and UZK-2 accounts for 95%.
