The Shazand oil refinery's RFCC gasoline prediction unit will officially come on stream in near future. Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will inaugurate the project, the Mehr News Agency reported.
"Moshe, I got some new target coordinates for you."
"Missiles or Stuxnet this time?" |
The project will come on stream at a cost of 3.5 billion dollars.
By implementing the project, the refinery's gasoline output would be increased to 16 million litres from the previous figure of four million litres. Once the third development phase of the Abadan Oil Refinery, the LAvan refinery's gasoline production unit, and the RFCC unit of the Shazand Refinery come on stream, the country's clean gasoline output, which meets Euro-4 and Euro-5 standards, will reach 25 million liters, from the current figure of 12 million.
Iran will start selling gasoline conforming to Euro-4 standard in 8 cities from February. The move is a part of Iran's efforts to reduce air pollution. The produced gasoline currently meets Euro-2 standards, he said, adding that newly established refineries are able to produce gasoline which meets both Euro-4 and Euro-5 standards. |
