At the refinery in the Scholven district, more than 800 people work in various facilities, such as the Visbreaker furnace, the V2 unit, the hydrocracker, or the olefin plant. In Scholven, crude oil is processed into petrochemical products like ethylene and propylene, which are further refined into different products.

Additionally, liquefied gas, jet fuel, diesel, and heating oil are produced here. The plant in Gelsenkirchen-Scholven is the largest of the three Gelsenkirschen locations, covering an area of approximately 250 hectares – equivalent to around 350 football fields.
