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.

Key Points: 
  • 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.
  • IsoTherming® technology is the lowest available carbon intensity technology on the market which will reduce the refinery's total carbon footprint.
  • Not only does this technology enhance the quality of diesel fuel by efficiently removing sulfur, nitrogen, and other impurities, but it also has much lower carbon emissions than a traditional hydroprocessing unit.
  • The addition of the diesel hydrotreater is expected to provide significant advantages to Trafigura, the Bahía Blanca Refinery, and the country of Argentina.
