Abadan Refinery Expansion Set for Summer Completion

The second phase of Abadan Refinery expansion plan in Khuzestan Province has registered 92% progress and its completion is expected in summer, the project operator said. 
“The venture includes the installation of new units, including hydrogen processing, hydrocracking, liquefied petroleum gas, crude distillation and other utilities to replace old units built 70 years ago,” Ahmad Farzaneh was also quoted as saying by the Oil Ministry’s news portal. 
Because the crude processing facility is being equipped with HPUs, it will not only help improve environmental conditions but also increase the supply of products complying with Euro-5 emission standards, he added.
