Isfahan Refinery Expanding Euro-5 Diesel Production

To help boost diesel production in compliance with Euro-5 emission standards at the Isfahan Oil Refining Company in central Isfahan Province, a diesel treatment unit was launched on Sunday, managing director of the firm said.
“Costing $600 million, the project is expected to reduce sulfur content in diesel from 10,000 parts per million to less than 10 ppm,” Morteza Ebrahimi was also quoted as saying by the Oil Ministry news portal.
The company now produces 4 million liters of Euro-5 diesel a day and output will rise fivefold, he added.
IORC launched a sulfur granulation unit with a daily capacity of 300 tons in 2020. The move was also in line with policies to reduce environmental pollution and upgrade the quality of refined products.
