At Gibraltar San Roque Refinery (RGSR), our Petrochemical Feedstock Supply division plays a pivotal role in the global industrial value chain. Beyond producing fuels for transportation and energy, we specialize in the extraction and supply of high-grade feedstocks—such as naphtha, propane, butane, and light ends—used as essential raw materials for the chemical, plastic, and industrial manufacturing sectors.

Positioned at the heart of Europe’s Mediterranean gateway, our refinery is engineered not only to meet regional fuel demands but also to serve as a cornerstone supplier to petrochemical producers across Western Europe, North Africa, and Latin America.

What Are Petrochemical Feedstocks?

Petrochemical feedstocks are hydrocarbon-rich raw materials derived during the crude oil refining process. These light fractions are further processed or cracked to manufacture a range of chemical products including:

• Plastics (PE, PP, PVC)
• Synthetic fibers (nylon, polyester)
• Fertilizers
• Pharmaceuticals
• Solvents and lubricants
• Detergents and industrial chemicals

At RGSR, we produce a stable, high-purity stream of feedstocks customized to meet client-specific process conditions and yield expectations.

Feedstocks We Supply

Our facilities are equipped with precision distillation and treatment units that allow us to extract, purify, and distribute a wide array of feedstocks, including:

• Straight-run Naphtha
  A key input for steam crackers and reformers, used in plastics and chemical synthesis.
• Propane & Butane (LPG Grade)
  Used in olefin production and also sold as heating and cooking gas.
• Light Ends & Off-Gases
  Feed for gas separation units or fuel use in internal processes.
• Reformates and Aromatics
  High-octane molecules used in blending or as base chemicals.

Each product is manufactured with rigorous control of sulfur content, moisture, and aromatics profile, ensuring maximum performance downstream.

Designed for Industrial Integration

RGSR is not a standalone refinery—it is an integrated industrial partner. Our feedstock supply operations are designed with the following capabilities:

• Large-scale storage facilities for different feedstock streams
• Batch and continuous blending to achieve custom specs
• Direct access to the CLH pipeline network for inland feedstock delivery
• On-site product certification labs for real-time quality assurance

This makes RGSR a reliable and agile partner for chemical manufacturers, polymer producers, and processing plants that require consistent and secure feedstock flow.

Strategic Supply Reach

From our terminal at San Roque Port, we serve petrochemical clients globally with:

• Bulk maritime shipment of LPG, naphtha, and specialty components
• Pipeline or rail tank access to local and European customers
• Flexibility in parcel sizes for both large-scale and modular operations

By offering both volume and versatility, RGSR has become a critical link in the global chemical supply chain.

Regulatory Compliance & Quality Standards

We operate with full transparency and compliance under national and international safety and handling codes, including:

• REACH (EU chemical compliance regulation)
• ISO 9001 for Quality Management Systems
• GHS-aligned chemical labeling and documentation
• IMO/ADR standards for hazardous material transport

Every feedstock transaction includes detailed product data sheets (PDS), safety data sheets (SDS), and laboratory test reports, ensuring our partners receive exactly what they expect—no surprises.

A Backbone for Innovation

Petrochemical feedstocks are not just industrial commodities; they’re the starting points for innovation. The raw materials we produce today become the building blocks for:

• Advanced polymers for 3D printing
• Lightweight materials in electric vehicles
• Biodegradable packaging
• Medical equipment and pharmaceuticals

With demand for smart, sustainable, and performance-driven materials rising, RGSR is committed to supplying feedstocks that empower next-gen manufacturing.

Sustainability in Feedstock Production

Environmental stewardship is central to our operations. RGSR incorporates:

• Low-sulfur processing techniques to reduce SOx emissions
• Vapor recovery systems to minimize volatile losses
• Heat integration systems to lower energy consumptionClosed-loop water systems to reduce effluent discharge

We’re also exploring partnerships for bio-feedstock integration and chemical recycling technologies that will extend the life of hydrocarbons in circular economy models.
