Syzran Refinery, a Rosneft subsidiary, has switched completely to Euro 5 diesel fuel as part of its large-scale investment program to upgrade operations.
This full transition to the latest environmental specification in diesel fuels ahead of the schedule established by the Russian legislators was made possible thanks to a number of technical solutions introduced by the refinery’s process team, such as modifying the process flow of the diesel hydrotreaters and fine-tuning the feedstock mix.
About 205,000 tonnes of the highest environmental standard 10 ppm sulfur diesel is expected in May alone.
In March 2015, the Syzran Refinery launched Euro 5 motor gasolines. Thus, the refinery has now completed the transition to the highest environmental standard in fuels.
