This refinery sustained considerable bomb damage in 1944 but some
production was reportedly taking place again by 1945. photography
shows the refinery to be reconstructed on its original p layout.
Collateral information indicates that most of this reconstruction was
probably accomplished during 1952.
A new distillation unit., probably of the vacuum type, has been placed
in the southern area of the plant, and three new 90=foot-diameter crude oil
storage tanks are under construction in the western section. There is no
photographic evidence to indicate that construction has commenced on a re-
ported new thermal cracking unit. Transportation is provided byroad, rail,
and river barge. Crude oil from the Lispe and Lovaszi oilfields in south-
west Hungary is reportedly brought in by pipeline.
The major components of the refinery are identified and described on
the accompanying annotated photograph.
