Elessent Clean Technologies announces the signing of license and engineering contracts with Trafigura for the construction of a state-of-the-art 125 Sm3/h (18,870 BPSD) IsoTherming® diesel hydrotreater at the Bahía Blanca Refinery located in Argentina. The addition of the IsoTherming® diesel hydrotreater will revolutionize the refining capabilities of the Bahía Blanca Refinery, which currently operates on domestic crude sourced from the Vaca Muerta and other regions of Argentina. This groundbreaking project represents a major investment by Trafigura in expanding the refinery’s diesel capacity and enhancing its ability to produce and sell ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD) domestically. This move will also position the refinery to meet the upcoming regulation that requires a reduction in the maximum sulfur content in ULSD to 10ppm.
