the purpose of my research is to put in place an adaptation technology to the Sonara company so that it can increase its production efficiency. SONARA is a processing type of enterprise for light type raw materials. However, heavy oil is currently being produced in Cameroon and there is a mismatch between the existing processing tool and the available crude oil. The enterprise is a semi-state company, most of whose shares are owned by the Republic of Cameroon, up to 80.29%: National Hydrocarbon Company, Stabilization Fund for Hydrocarbon Prices, National Investment Company and the Ministry of Finance. The state wants to increase the capacity of the refinery of finished petroleum products from 2.1 million to 3.5 million tons per year, and modernize all these infrastructures including its managerial system. the company aspires to live up to the expectations of the Cameroonian population and help the country which is advancing towards its emergence by 2035.The second phase of the modernization project, which has not yet begun, will consist primarily of the installation of a hydrocracking system to process heavy crude oil produced in Cameroon. The storage volume of SONARA is currently estimated at 132,500 m3.
