ISAB

ISAB Srl operates one of Europe's largest and most complex integrated petrochemical industrial sites, located in Priolo Gargallo, Sicily, between Catania and Syracuse. The facility comprises three interconnected production complexesthe South Plants, North Plants, and IGCC Plant (Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle)linked through an extensive pip... eline network. ISAB's refining operations process 320,000 barrels per day with storage capacity of 4 million cubic meters for products and raw materials, positioning the company as a major player in European refining and energy production. The IGCC plant represents a cornerstone of ISAB's operations, generating electricity through a 532 MW power station that converts synthesis gas produced from the gasification of refinery tar into clean energy and steam. This gasification process utilizes approximately one million tons annually of tar byproduct from the refining operations, extracting sulfur and other valuable components while producing purified gas for electricity generation. The facility generates approximately 4 TWh of electric energy per year, accounting for roughly 2 percent of Italy's total national electricity production. ISAB demonstrates a commitment to continuous operational improvement and environmental responsibility through ongoing facility upgrades, efficiency enhancements, and emissions reduction initiatives. The company has earned multiple internationally recognized certifications validating its operational excellence across critical management systems: ISO 14001:2004 for Environmental Management, BS OHSAS 18001:2007 for Occupational Health and Safety Management, ISO 50001:2011 for Energy Management, and ISO 9001:2015 for supply chain, storage, blending, and product loading operations. These certifications, issued by independent third parties, underscore ISAB's adherence to global standards and its dedication to sustainable, safe, and efficient industrial operations serving the broader European energy and petrochemical markets.Read More
