Euro-5 Diesel Production to Reach 20 million l/d in Isfahan Refinery

Work on a diesel treatment unit has made 85% progress and will help boost diesel production in compliance with Euro-5 standard at the Isfahan Oil Refining Company in central Isfahan Province next year, the company’s deputy production director said.
“With the construction of the project that so far has cost $600 million sulfur content in diesel will be reduced to less than 10 PPM,” Alireza Jafarpour was quoted as saying by the Oil Ministry news portal.
The company now produces four million liters of Euro-5 diesel a day and output will rise fivefold in 2021, he said.
IORC recently launched a sulfur granulation unit with daily capacity of 300 tons. The move was in line with policies to reduce environmental pollution and upgrade quality of refined products.
