Assumption of control
of the first part of the plant, locat-
ed in the borough of Harburg, is
set for Jan. 1, 2014. At that point,
Nynas will start operating the base
oil unit and associated refining
facilities—for instance, bitumen
assets, tank farms and jetties on
the southern part.
“Over the next 24 months,
Harburg will be converted into a
world-class, stand-alone spe-
cialty oil refinery,” said Staffan
Lennström, CEO of Nynas.
Nynas officials, driven by
projections that demand for
naphthenic specialty oils will in-
crease, have audacious plans. The
Shell refinery is a combined fuel,
naphthenic and paraffinic base
oil refinery. Nynas will convert
it into a plant that only produces
naphthenic oils. Part will be used
as a fuel terminal by Shell.
Nynas plans to increase
volumes of naphthenic specialty
oils by 40% when in full produc-
tion after the takeover. This could
catapult the Swedish company to
number one position in the naph-
thenic oil space; however, “we do
not know what our situation will
look like in a few years when we
reach the 40% increase in volume,”
said a company spokesperson.
The projections for such
significant growth in naphthenic
specialty oils are based on what
Nynas executives see as a need
for cleaner, non-hazardous oil;
a growth in electrification; and
closures of old Group I base oil
refineries.
“We foresee quite a growth in
the market, and we are one of the

Nynas收购壳牌的Harburg炼厂将
促其成为最大的环烷基油生产商
After waiting more than two long years for the approval of the European
Commission, specialty oils producer Nynas AB is finally poised to take
over a refinery in Hamburg, Germany, purchased from Shell in 2011.
在两年多漫长的等待后,特种油生产商Nynas AB最终获得了欧洲委员会的
批准,可以接手2011年从壳牌手中收购的位于德国汉堡的一家炼油厂。
Nynas预计将于2014年1月1
日接手工厂的第一部分(位于
Harburg区),并开始运行基础
油装置及相关的炼制设施,如位
于南部的沥青装置、罐区和码
头。
Nynas的CEO Staffan
Lennström说,“在未来的24个
月内,Harburg炼厂将被改造成
世界一流的单一特种油炼厂。”
受环烷基特种油需求预测增
长的驱动,Nynas的官员有着宏
伟的计划。壳牌的炼厂是一家燃
料油、环烷基和石蜡基基础油综
合炼厂。Nynas将要把它改造成
只生产环烷基油的炼油厂。部分
设施将用作壳牌的燃料油罐装
站。
Nynas计划在接手后,在满
负荷生产时把环烷基特种油的产
量增加40%。这将促使这家瑞典
