Enhim
Enhim (part of the NEC Group) is completing construction of the second phase of its plant – a trixylenyl phosphate synthesis workshop. The commissioning of the new production complex will allow the company to expand capacity, reduce the domestic industry's dependence on imports, and improve the country's energy security.
As Yuri Tupitsyn, Deputy General Director and Chief Engineer of Enhim LLC, noted, producing trixylenyl phosphate is a complex chemical process and requires special attention to both the equipment design and the synthesis technology. "The process flow includes reactor and heat exchange equipment manufactured from special alloys that operate in aggressive environments," explained Yuri Tupitsyn.
The technical solutions adopted in the project, according to the chief engineer, will increase production volumes. An isolated emergency discharge system and an exhaust gas purification unit will protect the environment and the population from potential harmful effects.
In addition to the trixylenyl phosphate synthesis unit, the second phase will include a raw material preparation unit, a vacuum distillation unit, an on-site nitrogen station, and a boiler house.
As a reminder, the first phase of the Enhim plant, a unique facility that has successfully launched in October 2024 and has completely restored the technology for producing fire-resistant turbine oil, a technology lost in the country. Products manufactured at the Tula Region production site meet industry standards and are in demand by key customers such as Rosenergoatom Concern JSC, Inter RAO PJSC, and Gazprom Energoholding LLC. The production of fire-resistant turbine oil meets strict safety and quality standards for thermal and nuclear power plant equipment, as confirmed by successful audits by the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade and the Rosatom State Corporation.

Construction of the second phase of the plant has entered its final stages. For us, this represents much more than just new production facilities. We are taking a strategic step forward: new technologies, expanding our product range, and a significant contribution to the development of the entire domestic chemical industry. We are expanding our capacity to ensure technological sovereignty and guarantee high-quality products for the Russian market. The commissioning of the second phase of the plant will open up new opportunities for this
