(Energy Analytics Institute, Ian Silverman, 20.Jun.2018) – The investment entails construction of a new isomerization plant and associated pond for the storage of gasoline.
The project is part of a larger investment portfolio of more than $ 1.1 billion for the ENAP Bío Bío Refinery. The new investments aim to improve the company’s environmental performance and its conversion capacity, and thus improve its competitiveness.
The plan for construction of a new isomerization plant to be executed by ENAP Bío Bío Refinery was approved on June 6, 2018 by the Environmental Assessment Commission with nine votes in favor and one abstention, announced ENAP in an official statement on its website.
The project, which entered into environmental processing in December 2017, seeks to increase production of high quality gasoline and low sulfur content for distribution in Chile.
