Pemex awards refinery upgrade contract
Mexico While the contract’s value remains undisclosed, Mexico’s national oil company Pemex plans to invest more than $500 million in upgrades to the aging refinery. Construction for the project is scheduled for completion in 2018, whereby the new facilities will reduce the sulphur content in refined diesel fuel from 500 to 15 parts per million.
The project will include the refurbishment of four diesel hydrodesulphurisation units as well as the installation of new sulphur recovery and sour water stripping equipment and new units for hydrogen production.
