Isab s.r.l.

isab's refining, gasification and electricity cogeneration plants, included in the petrochemical of priolo gargallo (located in sicily, between catania and syracuse), represent one of the largest industrial sites in europe, both in terms of size and in terms of complexity, and consist of three production sites called "south plants", "north plants" and "igcc plant" (integrated gasification combined cycle), interconnected each other through a system of pipelines. the processing capacity of the refining plants is 320 thousand barrels per day, while the storage capacity is 4 million cubic meters of products and raw materials. the i.g.c.c. plant generates electric energy by means of a power station with a capacity of 532 mw, which uses as fuel the gas produced from the gasification of the tar. the gasification plant allows to use one million tons/year of tar generated by refinery plants, transforming it into synthesis gas, from which are extracted sulfur and other components. the gas, so pu
