About TAKREER
Abu Dhabi Oil Refining Company (TAKREER) was established in 1999 to take
over the responsibilities of refining operations from Abu Dhabi
National Oil Company (ADNOC). This covers the crude oil and condensate
refining, supply of petroleum products and production of granulated
sulphur. Takreer’s main objective is to develop the refining industry in
the UAE which started with the inauguration of Abu Dhabi Refinery (ex.
Umm Al Nar) in 1976 and Ruwais Refinery in 1982.
Health, Safety & Environment
TAKREER's goal is "to do no damage to the environment". This challenge
stimulates us to adopt innovative ways to manage our environmental
impact at local and regional levels. We believe we have made
considerable progress towards this goal. In many areas we are already
seeking ways to go beyond our goal of no damage and positively benefit
the environment.
TAKREER maintains HSE as a top priority and provides support on HSE
matters as they relate to our business activities. Helping to define,
establish and incorporate HSE responsibility and accountability through
every level creates value for our communities and employees alike. Our
vision is to create an incident-free environment and to conduct business
with no adverse environmental impact. This can only be achieved by
integrating HSE into all of our business activities.
HSE at Abu Dhabi Refinery
The well-being of workers is a prime concern at Abu Dhabi Refinery,
which operates in accordance with ADNOC’s Health, Safety and Environment
Policy, covering health and physical checks, training and safety
awareness, reporting of accidents, incidents and near-miss reporting,
and other elements. Guidelines laid down by TAKREER on air, effluent
quality and non-municipal waste handling are strictly adhered to as part
of the refinery’s commitment to preserve the environment. Frequent air
and effluent sampling ensures all pollutant levels are within the
standards. Additional environmental control measures have been adopted
as part of TAKREER’s long-term objective of addressing environmental
concerns before they become serious problems.
In line with this policy, gas oil desulphurization, gas sweetening and
sulphur recovery units were installed and commissioned in February 1993
as part of Refinery Expansion Project II. As a result, considerable
reductions were achieved in sulphur oxide emissions from furnace and
flare stacks at site and mobile sources using desulphurised gas oil as
fuel.
HSE at Ruwais
The well being of employees is of prime concern at Ruwais Refinery, and
all operations are carried out in accordance with the ADNOC
Environmental Protection, Occupational Health and safety policy. A
variety of training programs and different courses are conducted on
various safety, health and environment issues regularly. The emphasis of
management in the area has helped Ruwais Refinery Division in achieving
6.72 million man-hours without Lost Time Accident and securing 4th
place amongst 63 participants in the ADNOC HSE Awards in the recent
past. In addition to its concern for employee safety, TAKREER has a
long-standing commitment to environmental protection. The centralization
of Sulphur handling operations at Ruwais is a major development in this
respect. In addition, Ruwais follows ADNOC guidelines in waste handling
and monitoring of air and effluent quality to ensure that any pollution
threat is eliminated.
