A workshop partially collapsed at a petrochemical plant in Sterlitamak: the company produces aviation gasoline

JSC "Sterlitamak Petrochemical Plant" (SNHZ) is one of the key enterprises in Russia, producing aviation gasoline for light and training aircraft. On Tuesday, November 4, a water treatment workshop partially collapsed there.

Production of strategic fuel

SNHZ is known as one of the main producers of aviation gasoline in Russia. This type of fuel is used in piston and light turboprop aircraft, as well as in helicopters for sanitary, agricultural and training aviation.

The production process includes deep cleaning, fractional distillation and monitoring of stability at low temperatures. Any deviation in the composition can affect flight safety, so the quality system at SNHZ is built on the principle of multi-stage control.

In addition to aviation fuel, the company produces synthetic rubbers, solvents and chemical components used in the civil and defense industries.

The role of the plant for Russian aviation

SNHZ provides fuel to dozens of air clubs, aviation schools and regional airlines. In the context of sanctions and reduced imports of synthetic additives, the plant has become an important element of the country's technological independence. Its products are used not only within Russia, but also at aircraft maintenance enterprises.

This morning, a water treatment workshop partially collapsed on the territory of JSC "SNHZ" in Sterlitamak. According to the city administration, none of the employees were injured.

According to preliminary data, the accident did not affect the main production lines of the enterprise.
