Industrial fuel oils obtained from shale are suitable for industrial consumption in urban centers. The products we make with shale are fuel oil, naphtha, fuel gas, liquefied gas and sulfur, in addition to products that can be used by the asphalt, cement, agricultural and pottery industries. With the second unit, the industrial module, entering into operation in December 1991, we completed an important step in the consolidation of our shale extraction and processing technology, called Petrosix®. The first production unit there was started up in 1972. In 1959, we decided to build a plant in São Mateus do Sul (PR). We commenced shale exploration in 1954, in the city of Tremembé, in the Paraíba Valley (state of São Paulo).
Naphtha is shipped for the Presidente Getúlio Vargas Refinery (Repar), in Araucária (PR), to generate fuels from processing at the refinery. The gas is shipped to the treatment plant to produce LPG, sulfur, and fuel gas (which, in turn, is transferred, by pipeline, to a ceramics plant, which is a customer and located adjacent to SIX). Petrosix®, technology we created and patented for oil shale exploitation, covers all stages of the manufacturing process.
