The commissioning in April 2005 of a new gasoline desulphurisation plant soon illustrated the refinery’s commitment to optimising its industrial tool in anticipation of new, stricter European specifications on fuel. From its startup, this new plant has helped reduce the sulphur content of gasoline to 10 ppm, in accordance with the standards due to come into effect by 2009
