Desulfurization Key to Reducing Air Pollution

The removal of sulfur compounds from mazut is vital to reducing air pollution, the Thermal Power Plants Holding Company’s deputy for environmental affairs said.
“If the Oil Ministry supplies power stations with quality (low-sulfur) mazut, there will be much less air pollution,” Sanaz Jafarzadeh was also quoted as saying by the Energy Ministry’s news website Paven.
The National Iranian Oil Company does not care about desulfurization and the mazut delivered to thermal power plants does not comply with environmental standards, she added.
