Alma
values
Shared goals
Since 1960, our focus on people and our commitment to integrity, continuous innovation, and consistent professionalism have been the cornerstones of our values and the pillars of our competitive edge.
Everything revolves around the people
Each of us is unique, with our own personal characteristics, attitudes, interests and desires. At Alma Petroli each team member’s uniqueness is promoted and enhanced, to achieve remarkable results.
Working together towards shared goals
The opportunity to freely express oneself, share ideas, and grow professionally in an environment dedicated to continuous innovation is what sets Alma Petroli apart.
Innovation
Evolving tradition
Awareness of the strength of our origins supports us in constant innovation. Continuously seeking new ways forward is what has made us who we are today.
Tank farm
With a capacity of 137,000 m³, our tank farm guarantees uninterrupted product availability. Each tank has a containment basin and an efficient pumping system for managing flows.
Loading and unloading by land
We manage logistics on land with separate loading and unloading bays. Each type of bitumen has a dedicated line to ensure precision and speed in operations.
Dedicated terminal
Our 230-meter terminal is located in the Port of Ravenna and can accommodate ships with a DWT of up to 80,000 tons. It can also handle loads ranging from 2,000 to 40,000 tons. It is equipped with loading arms and dedicated pipelines that allow for the direct loading and unloading of crude oil, semi-finished products, and finished products to and from the refinery.
Boiler unit
For the production of diathermic oil and steam.
Congeneration plant
For the production of electricity, steam, and hot water.
Osmosis plant
For the production of demineralized water.
PMB modified bitumen
A modified bitumen production section with a nominal capacity of approximately 30,000 t/year was built and commissioned within the refinery in 2022. The production process involves adding specific polymers to the bituminous mixture to create Alma Petroli’s FASTDRAINING®, which is patented based on proprietary process technology.
Oxidation
Two dedicated reactors convert distilled bitumen into oxidized bitumen using a controlled flow of air and temperatures of up to 240°C. This precise, monitored process yields a stable product that meets the highest industry standards.
Distillation
At the heart of our production process, we separate crude oil fractions based on their boiling points to obtain virgin naphtha, gas oils, heavy oils, and straight-run bitumen. Distillation takes place in two stages, atmospheric and vacuum, at temperatures of up to 370°C. Then, the products are cooled, treated, and stored at a controlled temperature.
Bitumen
Various formulations are available for road paving, waterproofing membranes, protective coatings, and sealants.
Integrity
Like a handshake
Honouring our commitments with determination is our aim, doing so transparently is our method.

1
We are a solid, knowledgeable industrial company with a clear desire to remain at the forefront of the bitumen market, where we have been operating for over 60 years. We have made flexibility and quality the cornerstones of our innovation. We invest in these values with the same energy and courage of those who love to take risks – but never gamble.
3
We are the tangible embodiment of imperceptible protection. We are the binding agent of road safety; we are the safeguard of industrial insulation; and we are the reliability of the most common household gaskets. Despite our specific weight, we remain invisible for the sake of discretion.
5
We adhere to environmental standards that surpass legal requirements. We live on the land where we work and are committed to its prosperity.
An idea or action can be defined as sustainable if it has a positive social footprint, a low environmental impact, and is guided by shared ethical principles.
2
We approach our product as if we were a true “Bitumen Atelier”. We offer on-demand solutions and customized services. In the bitumen sector, the breadth and diversity of our production is unmatched in Europe. This enables us to expand our focus to related markets and set goals without limitations.
4
Quality standards are not just rules – they’re part of our character. We perform over 30,000 quality tests per year, which effectively eliminate potential complaints. Without quality improvement, innovation is meaningless, safety is irrelevant, and protecting the environment becomes impossible.
