A total of 38 pieces of equipment were installed on the reconstructed "Desulphurisation" unit. A survey and technical inspection of 18 pressure vessels was carried out.

The unit is capable of removing hydrogen sulphide from more than 285 thousand tons of gaseous hydrocarbon (from the original 50 thousand tons).

A total of 340 tons of piping was laid, approximately the same amount of metalwork was installed. Civil works have been completed and pumps and solenoid and electric valves have been installed. The heating and ventilation systems and all electrical equipment were comprehensively tested and commissioned. The unit has undergone an initial inspection procedure, which is being handled by the plant's material and technical support.

A completely new control room has been built on site to meet modern industrial safety requirements. An automated process control system increases control over all the unit's equipment.
