In line with policies to reduce environmental pollution and upgrade the quality of refined products, a diesel treatment unit of Isfahan Oil Refining Company in Isfahan Province has come on stream, the managing director of the company said.
“Costing $600 million, the project will reduce sulfur content in diesel from 6,000 parts per million to less than 10 ppm,” Mohsen Qadiri was also quoted as saying by the Oil Ministry’s news agency.
Completed in two years, the new facility has a daily capacity of removing 300 tons of sulfur from diesel, which will also earn at least $270 million.
