Petro Naft Engineering & Technical Services: World-Class Industrial Solutions From Concept to Continuous Operation
Petro Naft is a region-leading industrial enterprise that has grown from a specialist supplier of bitumen into a globally recognised provider of integrated Engineering & Technical Services. Our in-house experts deliver full-spectrum support—planning, design, automation, optimisation, and lifecycle assistance—for new-build plants and brownfield upgrades alike. From polymer-modified bitumen units in the Middle East to advanced wax purification lines in South Asia, Petro Naft applies the latest international standards, proven best practice, and cost-efficient execution models to help owners achieve sustainable, high-return assets—on schedule and within budget.
1 | Petro Naft at a Glance
Headquarters: Ankara, Türkiye
Regional Hubs: Dubai (UAE) · India & China
Core Values: Transparency · Integrity · Mutual Trust · Safety · Sustainability
Primary Activities: Production of speciality bitumen, waxes, base oils & minerals; design & manufacture of processing equipment; multi-discipline engineering & technical consulting.
Our portfolio spans state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities complemented by a strategic alliance network of refineries, petrochemical complexes, chemical plants, and mines across the UAE, Türkiye, China, and India. This hybrid model gives customers a single interface to the widest slate of hydrocarbon derivatives and industrial minerals in the region, backed by hands-on engineering expertise that reduces project risk and total installed cost (TIC).
2 | Why Engineering & Technical Services Matter
In a market shaped by stringent product specifications, tightening margins, and rapid technological change, producers can no longer treat engineering as a one-off capital expense. Instead, owners need a partner who can:
Translate commercial goals into robust design bases.
Integrate emerging technologies (high-shear mixing, digital twins, predictive maintenance, advanced catalysts) without compromising reliability.
Optimise OPEX and carbon intensity over the full asset life.
Petro Naft fulfils these needs by combining decades of operator know-how with a structured engineering workflow—conforming to ISO 9001, API, ASME, IEC, NFPA, EN, AASHTO and local HSE codes—that drives projects from feasibility through commissioning with traceable quality-gate deliverables.
3 | End-to-End Support: From Blank Sheet to Continuous Operation
| Phase | Petro Naft Contribution | Typical Deliverables |
|---|---|---|
| Concept & Feasibility | Market and technology screening, block flow diagrams (BFD), order-of-magnitude CAPEX/OPEX, environmental footprint baseline. | Feasibility report, risk register, ±30 % estimate. |
| Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) | Design basis memorandum, heat & material balance, preliminary P&IDs, plot plan, HAZOP facilitation. | FEED package, Class 3 cost estimate, execution schedule. |
| Detailed Engineering | 3-D model, equipment datasheets, isometrics, electrical single-line diagrams, control narratives, QA/QC plans. | “Issued for Construction” (IFC) dossier. |
| In-House Equipment Manufacture | Fabrication of reactors, mixing skids, storage tanks, filtration systems, control cabinets—built to ASME VIII, API 650/620, ATEX/IECEx where required. | Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) certificates, material traceability dossiers. |
| Installation & Commissioning Support | Site supervision, system integration, loop-checking, performance tests, operator training. | Commissioning report, as-built drawings, O&M manuals. |
| Lifecycle Services | Spare-parts management, debottlenecking studies, energy audits, digital performance dashboards. | Reliability improvement plan, KPI dashboard, upgrade roadmap. |
Single-Interface Advantage: Because Petro Naft designs, fabricates and supports its own equipment, owners avoid the cost, schedule drift, and warranty gaps that plague multi-vendor projects.
