REFINERY PROCESSES<br />

The Corinth Motor Oil Refinery<br />

The Motor Oil Refinery is located near Corinth, about one-hour<br />

drive north of Athens along the coast. The refinery was installed in<br />

1972. It is a medium size refinery complex with sophisticated conversion<br />

units (i.e., fluid catalytic cracking, alkylation, isomerization, lube<br />

oil processing units), <strong>and</strong> the traditional distillation, reforming <strong>and</strong><br />

hydrotreating units. Presently, the refinery processes 7,500,000 tons of<br />

crude oil per year, <strong>and</strong> produces 150,000 tons/year of lubrication oil.
