GRAFILIT® EM

GRAFILIT® EM is an expanded graphite based material with expanded stainless steel insert, which enables applications with high operation pressures, including cycling operations. Even surface pressure distribution on gasket provides excellent thermomechanical properties and sealing characteristics, and increase blowout resistance. Therefore material is particularly suitable for high temperature applications in petrochemical industry and steam supply.

Bayernoil, Germany

The Bayernoil plant has a capacity of 218 thousand barrels per day in which BP owns a 22.5% share. The refinery is located in Bavaria, Germany and is operated across two locations. The refinery produces a diverse range of products such as gasoline, diesel, fuel oil and bitumen. The refinery is operated by Bayernoil.
In 2008 the refinery completed a multi-year reconfiguration project which will position the Bayernoil refinery to be more efficient and competitive. The project resulted in the closure of one of three operating locations and the construction of new diesel production facilities, increasing yield of this deficit product.
