2nd Phase of Abadan Refinery Development Ready for Launch

The second phase of the development plan at the Abadan Refinery in Khuzestan Province has registered 97% progress and a part of the phase is ready for launch, director of the development plan said.
“The first part of the second phase is complete and will soon become operational and add 4,000 barrels per day to the production capacity of the refinery,” Ahmad Farzaneh was also quoted as saying by the Oil Ministry’s news agency Shana.
“The second part of the phase, when launched, will increase the quality of the products. When fully operational, the project will help reduce the amount of mazut produced in the refinery significantly,” he added.
The refinery will have a sulfur recovery unit to reduce mazut output to less than 25% from the present 50%.
