History

For almost 50 years, not only in Romania[3] but also in the southeast of Europe, IPIP SA was the only design institute for refineries and petrochemistry.[4]

Right away after its foundation, IPIP worked in the service of the Romanian refineries damaged during the second war, fully contributing to their restoring.

Later, in the '70s, within the general frame of development of the Romanian industry, IPIP was in charge of designing new refineries of large capacity and high complexity, for the processing of the domestic and imported crude oil.

The Institute has performed the complete engineering and design for the achievement and implementation of the new Romanian refineries and for the revamping and extension of the existent ones. Thus, IPIP has fully designed the 11 oil refineries of Romania, totaling a processing capacity of about 40,000,000 Mt/y, and a great number of objectives abroad, spread worldwide and comprising, mainly, oil refineries, lube oil / gas processing complexes, oil terminal and other associated facilities.[5][6][7][8]

IPIP SA has been audited and approved by Lloyd's Register Quality Assurance to the following Quality management System Standards: ISO 9001:2000, EN ISO 9001:2000, SR EN ISO 9001:2001, for Engineering, basic and detail design, project management, procurement, consultancy and technical assistance for oil refineries, gas processing and petrochemical plants, pipelines and related facilities. Design for indoor electrical systems for civil and industrial buildings, for 0.4 kV underground and above-ground branches. Design for 0.4-20 kV above-ground electrical lines or underground cable tray routing, and transformer substations.
