The Scholven refinery is the larger and more complex of the two Gelsenkirchen sites, covering approximately 250 hectares. With a crude distillation capacity of 7.8 million tonnes per year, it is the primary crude processing hub of the integrated complex and additionally operates the site's petrochemical units — two steam crackers producing ethylene and propylene — making it the conversion and chemical heart of the Ruhr Oel GmbH–BP Gelsenkirchen (ROG) complex.
We have identified 24 different production units.
