Bandar Abbas Refinery in the southern Hormozgan Province is making concerted efforts to enhance the quality of its gasoline and diesel output to comply with Euro-4 emission standards by October, the refinery’s managing director said on Friday.
“Iranian engineers are implementing the project, which I hope will be completed between Sept. 23 and Oct. 22,” Hashem Namvar was also quoted as saying by ISNA.
Namvar added that the refinery officials are holding negotiations with Japan’s Chiyoda Corporation on curbing mazut output, a heavy polluting fuel that accounts for most of Bandar Abbas Refinery’s production.
“We aim to reduce the refinery’s mazut production to less than 10%, which itself will be enhanced to lighter products with more value added,” he said.
