Major Refiner Evolves With Euro-5 Gasoline

Lavan Oil Refinery has started producing gasoline compliant with Euro-5 standards, the managing director said.
“Completion of a development plan, costing $222 million, has helped the refinery enhance gasoline quality, raise production and profitability, increase gasoline octane and reduce environmental pollution,” Mohammad Ali Akhbari was quoted as saying by ILNA.
The plan included construction of a distillation unit, hydrogen purification and light naphtha isomerization units, catalytic converters, and a sulfur recovery unit.
It has helped reduce production of heavy products such as kilns, increase output of value-added light-duty products such as liquid gas, gasoline and gas oil, adding new products like jet fuel and sulfur to the company's product portfolio, improve economic performance, and create jobs.
