Shirvan Oil Refinery Factory
- Shirvan Oil Refinery, which produces cottonseed oil, operates as part of MKT Production Commercial LLC.
- The factory is equipped with the latest technology needed for production and refining. 12% -13% of the raw material produced is obtained as refined oil. The factory also produces soapstock, cotton wool and linter from cotton wool.
The foundation of the Shirvan Oil-Fat Plant was laid. The company started operating under the name "Oil Plant".
It has been operating under the name of "Oil Extraction" plant.
The capacity of the enterprise was gradually increased. As a result, the daily processing of sorghum was increased from 270 tons to 700 tons.
An oil hydration plant was established and the plant was renamed the Oil and Fat Combine.
As cotton production in the Republic declined in 1997, the profitability of the oil refinery also deteriorated, and in 1997 the enterprise became an open joint-stock company.
It was decided to build a new small enterprise on the basis of the plant.
An enterprise called "Shirvan Oil-Fat Factory" was launched. During this period, the plant was able to process 120 tons of raw materials per day.
As a result of the development of cotton growing in the country, it was decided to expand the capacity of the factory in accordance with the output of cotton. As a result, new technological equipment was installed at the plant and the daily processing of cotton reached 350-400 tons.
The Company is conducting all the necessary analyses to ensure that products meet the standards. The factory has a central laboratory equipped with equipment from the United States, Germany, Italy, and Turkey. All products, including raw materials, are analyzed in the laboratory. Here, 800 TS microplate readers from the American company BioTek, Tango from the German company Bruker, SRY-148 from the Italian company VELP Scientifica, Furnaces from the Turkish company Magma Therm and several other measuring devices are used, color, transparency, moisture, sedimentation, etc. are determined. Most of the plant's products are exported to Turkey, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, and Iran.
