S-OIL is currently undergoing the SUPER (S-OIL Upgrading Program of Existing Refinery) Project to raise profitability by increasing production of high value-added products at the same time reducing operating costs in refining and petrochemical businesses.
- Increasing production of high value-added products by improving Bunker-C Cracking Center
- Improving product quality and increasing throughput by improving aromatics complex and lube base oil production facilities
- Improving energy efficiency and reducing operating costs constantly in long-term.
When the SUPER Project is completed, bunker-c production will decrease and high value ULSD(Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel) production will increase about 10%. Also, paraxylene production will increase 5% and benzene production will increase over 8%. By producing more high value-added products from the same amount of crude oil, it will be able to reduce production costs and raise profitability at same time.
Through the SUPER Project, S-Oil will obtain more solid and competitive advantage in the intrinsic businesses.
