Process
The industrial carbochemical facilities are formed by a group of autonomous, though integrated plants, making up a set with a primary tar distillation capacity of 370,000 mt. per year. As a result of the continuous innovation processes developed by the Company on carbochemicals, important enhancements have been made as well as other modifications and improvements with several aims in mind:
- Adaptation of productive activity to new environmental legislation.
- Revamping of facilities and production processes.
- Improving company’s competitiveness in the market.
All the processes employed in carbochemicals correspond to our own technological developments, some of which have been patented (Naphtalene Refining).
Their common characteristics are:
- High energy efficiency.
- Minimum environmental footprint.
- Computerised and automated processes.
- Differential and consistent quality in the products obtained.
- High levels of productivity.
- High yields.
Química del Nalón, S.A. carries out the processing of tar in two physically separated stages:
- Primary coal tar distillation for obtaining pitch.
- Naphthalene oil distillation.
