Bath Type Edible Oil Refining Production Equipment in Angola

Can Angola fill 90% of the refinery’s jobs?
The head of Gemcorp’s operations in Luanda, Marcus Weyll, is confident that 90% of the refinery’s jobs can be filled by Angolan workers. The first phase will create 1,300 direct and indirect jobs, according to Gemcorp, which has set up a training center for this purpose.
What is refining in edible oil processing?
Refining is the last step in edible oil processing. We are committed to making every drop of oil safe, healthy and nutritious. Value-adding by-products may be produced from processing stages like Degumming, Neutralization, Bleaching, Dewaxing/Winterization and Deodorization.
When will Angola’s new oil refinery be operational?
The project is well behind schedule, though. Initial construction commenced in 2020 with the refinery initially expected to be operational by early 2022. New refineries are also planned in Soyo, on Angola’s far north coast close to Cabinda, and Lobito, on the central coast. Both projects have seen long delays.
What is the Cabinda refinery?
The Cabinda refinery is a joint venture between the UK-based asset management company Gemcorp and Angola’s national oil company, Sonangol. It’s hoped that it will deliver around 10% of Angola’s domestic demand for refined oil products, such as diesel and jet fuel, with plans to increase the capacity in further phases.
