Works to reactivate the Camilo Cienfuegos oil refinery, in the central province of Cienfuegos, advance according to the schedule of the restoration process that includes starting tests later this year.
According to the director of the facility, Jose Manuel Suarez, the work currently being undertaken in the refinery will improve the exploitation conditions and maintenance of the center, which remained under preservation conditions over the last two decades.One of the main transformations being carried out is the replacement of the system of distributed control and the instruments in the field by digital and electronic technology aiming at attaining more efficiency.
In the storage area, the structure of tanks is also being transformed to increase the capacity to store crude oil and the finished product and also to reduce the eventual problems caused by storms and to extend the maintenance cycles of these deposits.
As part of the Bolivarian Alternative for the Americas, Venezuela's PDVSA and Cuba's CUPET founded a joint venture in 2005, which is in charge of the reactivation works in the refinery.
