Zeeland refinery expands diesel with third hydrocracker
The 180,000 barrels per day Zeeland refinery in the Netherlands said in a statement it is expanding its diesel-producing hydrocracker unit with a third reactor.
The new unit arrived on July 18 and will be connected to the existing plant in 2020, the refinery said in a statement on its website.
The plant is owned by Total and Russia’s Lukoil. The firms invested 40 million euros in the new unit, the statement said.
The addition is part of a global drive to increase diesel production ahead of a major change in marine fuel standards next year that requires vessel to use lower-sulphur fuels.
