На нефтехимическом заводе в Стерлитамаке частично обрушился цех: предприятие производит авиационный бензин

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 civil and defense industries.

The role of the plant for Russian aviation

SNHZ provides fuel to dozens of flying 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 facilities.

Partial collapse of the water treatment workshop

This morning, a partial collapse of the water treatment workshop occurred on the territory of JSC "SNHZ" in Sterlitamak. According to the city administration, none of the workers were injured.

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