Among the industrial “locomotives” of the economy of the Irkutsk region, JSC Angarsk Petrochemical Company (ANKhK) occupies a special place. This is expressed not only in the fact that ANKhK is one of the processing enterprises, while most regional “heavyweights” are focused on the extraction and export of raw materials. Today, the company is so firmly integrated into the regional economy that its “well-being” affects many other enterprises in the region.
Tasks
The Angarsk Petrochemical Company, in fact, is a backbone enterprise. The construction of the Angarsk plant marked the beginning of the implementation of a strategic government plan for the development of industrial forces throughout Eastern Siberia. The official commissioning date is September 14, 1945.
Initially, the plant was focused on producing artificial liquid fuel. But the country needed not only fuel. It was necessary to develop the industrial infrastructure of the region with the richest reserves. The plant became a springboard for the development of the industrial potential of Eastern Siberia, the construction of new enterprises.
Structure
Today, three specialized enterprises are closely interacting in the production chain of Angarsk Petrochemical Company OJSC: a refinery, an oil plant, and a chemical plant. A considerable help to them is made up of several subsidiaries, for example, the East Siberian Engineering Plant. ANKhK is a large consumer of thermal and electric energy, and thus provides work for two thermal power plants that are part of Irkutskenergo.
Economic importance
Processing more than 8 million tons of oil annually, the Angarsk Petrochemical Company has become the largest producer of fuels and lubricants, covering the needs of Eastern Siberia and the Far Eastern region.
The company provides work not only for the Angara people - over 10,000 people work here - but also for allied workers, service and contracting organizations, and this is about 40,000 employed citizens.
The revenue part of the budget of the city of Angarsk with a population of 200,000 per third consists of revenues from the ANHK. Therefore, the economic stability of other large enterprises of the Angara region to a large extent depends on the stable operation of the company.

The Angarsk Petrochemical Company produces a full line of oil products:
- gasoline;
- diesel fuel;
- jet fuel;
- oils;

Also, petrochemical products - butyl alcohols, amines, sulfuric acid, methanol. In 2006 ANKHK OJSC mastered the production of the latest type of product - oxygenate gasolines, characterized by improved environmental characteristics. Since 2013, a number of capacities were transferred to the production of improved diesel fuel standards: Euro-4 and Euro-5. In total, the oil giant mastered about two hundred types of products.
Administration
Until 2007, the Angarsk Petrochemical Company was a structural unit of the Yukos group of companies. Since 2007, it has become part of Rosneft. On November 24, 2014, a new CEO, Igor Pavlov, took over at the helm of the oil refining giant, replacing Igor Kuks, who switched to another job.
A new appointment opens up new perspectives for OJSC Angarsk Petrochemical Company. General Director Igor Pavlov (born 1967) returned to his native enterprise, where he went through all the production steps: from a simple operator to the director of an oil factory. In the period 2008-12, he headed the Achinsk Oil Refinery. Then he transferred to the administration of Rosneft, held the position of vice president. Since 2012 - Member of the Management Board.
Environmental stress reduction
Today, an important trend in production and in society is a decrease, and if possible minimization of the harmful effects on nature. The Angarsk Petrochemical Company does not stand aside. The director of the company seriously intends to really reduce the environmental burden. The implementation of environmental objectives over the past years has been and remains one of the most important areas of ANHK activity. Almost all investment projects have an environmental component. In 2014 alone, 32 environmental measures were implemented.
The company has a long-term program to reduce emissions and emissions of pollutants. Much has already been done to date: pump and compressor equipment has been replaced, underground pipelines with a length of 9,200 meters have been put on racks, which allowed minimizing soil and groundwater pollution, reconstruction of the gas and gas facilities has been completed, the tanks have been equipped with sealed aluminum pontoons, minimizing oil volatility and light oil products.
The wastewater treatment plant with ultraviolet rays was put into operation . It is the first in power beyond the Ural Mountains. A UV installation daily disinfects up to 250,000 m 3 of water discharged into the Angara River, of which more than half are wastewater from enterprises and organizations in the city of Angarsk.
Prospects
The administration of ANKhK and its works look confidently into the future. Lokomotiv of the Irkutsk Region is in the TOP-10 profile enterprises of the country, promising technologies and latest products are being mastered. Today, there is every reason to believe that the Angarsk NHK will work stably: in connection with the active development of the region’s natural reserves, the company will surely receive new directions for its development. There are prerequisites for the breakthrough financial crisis to not bring the enterprise to its knees.
