(Arabian Oil and Gas) -- Saudi
Aramco has inaugurated its Ras Tanura diesel hydrotreater plant, after 28 months
of construction work, the company said in a statement. The diesel hydrotreater
is the largest of its kind in Saudi Aramco and capable of processing 105.000
barrels per day of 10-parts-per-million (ppm) ultra-low-sulfur diesel.
Completed within 28 months, the plant represents a milestone in the
company’s efforts to produce cleaner fuels. The project was part of Saudi
Aramco’s Environmental Master Plan, which was launched in 2001 to identify and
implement capital projects that lighten the environmental footprint of the
company and the products it produces.
The hydrotreater is situated in the middle of Ras Tanura Refinery and
surrounded by operating facilities that continued to operate during construction
of the hydrotreater. Yanbu' and Riyadh diesel hydrotreaters produce 500 ppm
low-sulfur diesel.
