The most significant the technical difference in the production site of Aftab Oil Refining lies in the production of light and heavy hydrocarbons. The unit perform atmospheric distillation, cutting different feeds, sweetening, and sulfur reduction in this process.
The bitumen production unit extracts bitumen from the vacuum baton, renders the bitumen production up to the desired analysis, and operates bitumen barrel filling. The storage, unloading, and loading units store the feed and products in metal tanks. According to the need, the units unload the product to the truck and load the feed from it.
The production capacity of light hydrocarbons is 588 thousand tons, whereas the heavy hydrocarbon production capacity is 360 thousand tons. The bitumen production capacity is 345 thousand tons per year.

Sheets are purchased in rolls, considering the factory production needs, then transported to the factory and weighed according to the arrival date.
The barrel caps are purchased to meet the production needs and then pressed in the factory using a punching machine. Subsequently The barrel tops and bottoms are selected following the FIFO roll-in edge and production processes.
Sheets are cut with weight 150 to 180 kg and placed on the welding point machine with a forklift. They are then sealed and strengthened using a congress machine that enters a new stage called the edge. At this stage, the edge of the barrel should be cut by half a centimeter on both sides. With the waltz, the barrel tops and bottoms are closed.

Finally, the depot is done, and after transportation, the product enters the final stage to fill. The production site operates in two separate lines, one of which now produces 4,500 to 5,000 units per day in two shifts. If the factory requires more, the second line will start operating, by which, production will reach 12,000 barrels per day.
