Kalundborg refinery

The Statoil refinery at Kalundborg in Denmark refines crude oil and condensate (light oil) to petrol, jet fuel, diesel oil, propane, heating oil and fuel oil. Countries around the Baltic represent the principal market for products from the refinery. Annual production capacity at Kalundborg is close to 5.5 million tonnes of oil products, depending on the type of feedstock. The oldest part of the refinery w as built in 1961. After an expansion in 1995, it can accept a larger proportion of condensate. That in turn allow s it to produce petrol w ith a low er content of benzene, a carcinogen. Deliveries of petrol w ith only 1% benzene to the Danish market started in 1997. The refinery began to produce agricultural fertiliser in 2000, utilising a completely new facility designed in cooperation w ith Denmarks Haldor Topse Ltd. This plant converts sulphur and nitrogen from the desulphurisation process for oil products into liquid ammonium thiosulphate (ATS). The result has been a substantial reduction in emissions of sulphur and nitrogen oxides from the refinery. Built at a cost of DKK 400 million, the Synflex facility came on stream in the summer of 2002 w ith an annual capacity of about one million tonnes of sulphurfree diesel oil (defined as 10 parts per million of sulphur, or 0.001%). Kalundborg also delivers petrol and diesel oil w ith less than 50 ppm (0.005%) of sulphur.

Kalundborg refinery

The refinery primarily processes various crude oils and condensates from the North Sea, w hich are brought in by ship. Condensate comes chiefly from the Sleipner area via Statoils gas processing plant at Krst north of Stavanger. Kalundborg cooperates w ith other local industrial companies over exchanging energy and on commercial exploitation of each others used coolant w ater and w aste products. Termed an industrial symbiosis, this collaboration w as rew arded w ith the Danish Environmental Prize in 1991.
