Recommend to a friendORLEN Lietuva has been operating since 1980 and is one of the largest companies in Lithuania.
In 2010 the refinery in Mažeikiai processed in total about 9 mln tonnes of REBCO crude oil, recording 7% increase as compared to the previous year.
The first half of 2010 was characterised by decreased processing of crude oil mainly due to the unfavourable market conditions. Moreover, in April the access to the FCC (Fluid Catalytic Cracker) unit was restricted. Despite these problems, in the second half of the year the volume of crude oil processed was bigger than planned and in the balance of 2010 it turned out to be better than in 2009.
Concentrating on the financial situation of the company, the main activities in 2010 were focused on minimising expenses and increasing profitability of the refinery.
With the aim to improve energy efficiency the company carried out, among others, initiatives concerning the use of heat from process streams in DRW, HONs and Reforming exchangers.
