Abadan Refinery to Curb Mazut Output, Increase Euro-5 Gasoline Production

The first development phase of Abadan Refinery in Khuzestan Province, which is expected to be completed by March 2022, will not only help improve environmental conditions but also increase the supply of products complying with Euro-5 emission standards, director of the National Iranian Oil Refining and Distribution Company said.
“Registering an 85% progress, the venture includes the installation of a new crude distillation unit to replace three old units built 70 years ago,” Jalil Salari was also quoted as saying by IRNA.
“The crude processing facility is being equipped with a sulfur recovery unit to reduce mazut output to less than 25% from the present 50%,” he added.
