In the early 2000s, part of the unused production space of the plant was transferred to the construction of mini-refineries with a design capacity of 5 thousand tons of oil products per year. In the second half of 2002, the Ukrainian-Polish company NaftaPol began the installation of a cracking unit for the disposal of used engine oils and a gasoline distillation unit [7] (a set of German technological equipment was manufactured by VEB Mashinen- und Apparatbau Grimma) [8] . The entry of Ukraine into the WTO in May 2008 (with the subsequent transition to a fuel standardization system in accordance with EU legislation) and the economic crisis that began in 2008 complicated the implementation of the project.
