OREANDA-NEWS. April 12, 2010. “Neftemaslozavod” achieved in 2009 considerable saving at the account of cutting expenditures for electric power which amount to more than one third of the constant expenditures of the plant. The substantial economical effect resulted from more rational and efficient production engineering.

Abandonment of purchased steam became the first stage of the process (steam is used as a heat-transfer medium in the course of technological operations). Purchased steam was to be replaced by the plant’s own source of steam. In 2009 “RussNeft” assigned funds for purchasing two mobile steam-generating units for OAO “Neftemaslozavod”. Considering the constant growth of price for energy carriers use of  in-house produced steam gave in 2009 a considerable saving in costs, in amount of more than 50 million rubles a year and besides, permitted to use energy resources and manage technological processes more rationally.

In 2010 “Neftemaslozavod:” goes on implementing the anti-crisis program aimed at reduction of operating costs, increasing profitability of  sales and search for new markets of finished product sale.
