Petroperú began the preliminary start-up maneuvers of the Flexicoking Unit (FCK) of the New Talara Refinery (NRT), after completing the inspection and repair work of this important process unit.

With its start-up and subsequent commissioning, the FCK unit will contribute to increasing the production of quality fuels in the NRT, such as gasoline, diesel, LPG, Turbo A1, among others to meet national demand.

During the temporary stoppage of FCK, in which inspection and repair work was carried out, the NRT has continued to produce fuels in specification, through its other 15 process units and auxiliary units, the same ones that have remained operational since their start-up.

FCK is the most complex process plant in the NRT, as it boasts state-of-the-art technology, licensed by the American oil company Exxon Mobil, present only in eight leading refineries in the world, allowing it to carry out highly reliable and precise operations.

This technology allows the production of liquid fuels of high commercial value obtained from oil waste, as well as flexigas to be used as energy for the network of furnaces and boilers and the generation of energy for the refinery itself.
