Developed with HK Makine Engineering assurance, 1 Ton - 10 Ton capacity mobile crude oil refinery plants are trailer-mounted, turnkey portable solutions designed to process crude oil on-site at remote wellhead locations into high-quality fuel.
Although the system operates on a batch principle, it exhibits a semi-continuous flow character with high-performance deep vacuum and serpentine technology. The total cycle time is completed in an average of 6 to 8 hours depending on crude oil density and capacity.
The average operation and processing time for each filling (batch) is between 6 and 8 hours. Sequential resting and fast-filling modes are available for 24/7 continuous operation capability.
No reinforced concrete construction is required. Brought to the site via trailer, the plant is positioned using a crane by our expert engineering team and commissioned instantly with a "plug-and-play" setup once electrical and piping lines are connected.
All our units are manufactured with official CE Certification fully complying with European Union and international safety norms, successfully passing high pressure and explosive atmosphere safety tests.
Our plant is covered by a 2-Year Full HK Makine Engineering Warranty against manufacturing, mechanical components, reactor vessels, and PLC automation systems.
All power, motor, pump, and automation panel infrastructure of the plant is optimized to operate standardly on 380 Volts Industrial Electricity (3 Phase + Neutral + Ground).
To provide flexibility based on the investor's site conditions, 3 alternatives are offered for the reactor heating furnace burner system: 1. Natural Gas / LPG (Gas), 2. Diesel, 3. Fuel Oil.
The horizontal reactor vessel is filled with raw material. Temperature is at initial value (T = 25°C). All product outlet valves (V1, V2, V3, V4) are in the CLOSED position.
The vacuum pump is activated. Internal reactor pressure is reduced to the target vacuum value (-650 mmHg). Rule: Heating DOES NOT start until vacuum reaches the target value.
The heater turns on. Vapor exiting the reactor passes through the shock condenser (exchanger) to cool down. Based on temperature ranges, valves V1, V2, V3, and V4 open sequentially to direct flow into D1, D2, D3, and D4 collection tanks.
After all 4 products are collected, the heater is turned off. The vacuum pump is shut down to return system pressure to normal. Bottom products remaining in the reactor are drained, and the system resets for a new charge.
Safety and Risk Management: Light gases such as methane and ethane, which are physically impossible to liquefy in the exchanger, pass safely through the liquid ring of the water-wheel vacuum pump and are routed to a 4,000-liter hookah gas tank. Washed and stabilized here, these gases are directed to the flare (stack burning) line in a controlled manner and burned off. Pressure buildup in the system is completely prevented.
Average product distribution ratios obtained in standard crude oil distillation plants worldwide, independent of any country, along with fractional analyses of crude oil qualities from various nations:
Fast flow scenario: Vacuum reaches target first, then heater activates, passing vapor through the exchanger and filling D1-D4 tanks via V1-V4 valves according to temperature.
Our mobile refinery models, custom-manufactured according to our investors' daily crude oil processing volumes worldwide, are designed with width and length dimensions compatible with standard road trailer transport.

Unlike traditional reinforced concrete and fixed refineries, HK Makine Engineering's mobile design grants investors unmatched logistical and operational flexibility:
No reinforced concrete construction, mortar, foundation excavation, or site installation required. Brought to the site via trailer, the plant is unloaded by crane and ready for operation as soon as electrical and crude oil feed lines are connected.
When wellhead reservoir production life ends or relocation to a new oil field is required, the plant can be effortlessly transported to a new location by attaching it directly to a tractor unit without disassembly.
Offers much lower initial investment cost compared to fixed refineries. Thanks to high-margin gasoline and diesel outputs, the plant fully recovers its investment cost within an average of 3 to 5 months under market conditions.
Completely eliminates foreign dependency in hard-to-reach desert, mountain, or remote energy fields. The fuel produced can be used immediately for on-site heavy machinery, generators, and transport vehicles.
The economic success of our mobile refinery system relies on energy optimization and zeroing out logistical costs by refining crude oil on-site.
Low Energy Consumption: Thanks to heat recovery exchangers used in furnace and serpentine boilers, thermal energy from hot fluids exiting the system is used to preheat incoming cold crude oil. This heat integration reduces fuel consumption by 35%.
Logistical Savings: Transporting crude oil to another city or country via tankers creates serious freight and customs expenses. Processing crude oil at the wellhead to obtain finished products (diesel and gasoline) completely eliminates freight costs, maximizing net profit margins per ton.
