  • What will Uganda's refinery produce?
  • Uganda also plans to construct a refinery to produce petroleum products for export and domestic use. The Ugandan government has granted production licenses for foreign corporations, such as Tullow Oil from the United Kingdom and the China National Offshore Oil Corporation, allowing them to develop oil reserves in the country.
  • What is Uganda's Oil Refinery – an opportunity for transformation?
  • Uganda’s Oil Refinery – An Opportunity for transformation Uganda’s petroleum products consumption is at 27,000 barrels/day and that for East Africa is close to 200,000 barrels/day growing at an annual rate of about 7%. This fact presents an opportunity to Uganda, with the confirmation of over 1.4 billion barrels of recoverable oil in the country.
  • Which projects has Uganda's Oil Refinery fallen behind?
  • Ernest Rubondo, the executive director of the Petroleum Authority of Uganda (PAU) disclosed recently that the refinery now looks like it is behind the Tilenga and Kingfisher projects and the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP). “The progress of the three projects has made it look like the refinery is behind schedule.
  • Will the oil refinery deter Uganda's March to first oil?
  • The oil refinery, one of the four flagship projects needed to commercialize Uganda’s 1.4bn barrels of oil, appears to be lagging behind. However, government technocrats say this project will not deter the country’s march towards first oil scheduled for 2025 .
  • Are degumming and bleaching steps important in the refining process?
  • A study of the possible role of degumming and bleaching steps in the refining process for a possible critical role in the formation of 3-chloropropane-1,2-diol (3-MCPD) esters was evaluated. For the degumming step, different percentages of phosphoric acid (0.02–0.1%) as well as water degumming (2.0%) were carried out.
  • Does acidity affect refined oil quality?
  • However, the refined oil qualities were slightly compromised. Good correlation of 0.9759 and 0.9351 was obtained when concentration of the esters was plotted against acidity of the bleaching earths for the respective acid and water degumming processes.
