RIPI Raising the Bar on Gasoline, Diesel Quality

The Research Institute of Petroleum Industry has plans to improve the quality of gasoline and diesel by reducing sulfur content, head of the RIPI said.
“In addition to the regular technology for removing sulfur, we have done research and developed new technology that can significantly reduce sulfur,” ISNA quoted Jaffar Tofiqi as saying.
Sulfur is a natural component in crude oil that is present in gasoline and diesel unless removed. Reducing sulfur in gasoline enables advanced emission controls and reduces air pollution. 
“A plan is in place to design and set up a sulfur recovery unit in Ilam Petrochemical Complex, which will have a definite role in reducing sulfur in gasoline and diesel,” Tofiqi noted.
