Lanaz Refinery Upgrade

Lanaz is a major, medium-to-large-scale refinery situated in Erbil, within the Kurdistan Region. Established in 2008 and operated privately, the facility has expanded its crude processing capacity from four to eight units, with an overall throughput of approximately 75,000 barrels per day (bpd). The refinery's daily production includes around 1.7 million liters of gasoline, 5,000 tonnes of asphalt, as well as diesel, kerosene, and fuel oil. In 2022, DESL, in partnership with SPEC Engineering and Honeywell UOP, completed a project that implemented modular naphtha hydrotreating and platforming units to enhance fuel quality and comply with stricter environmental standards. The refinery adheres to international benchmarks, utilizing advanced, modular process technologies to ensure optimized, cost-effective operations.
