Mozyr refinery develops diesel fuel for severe frosts

Severe frosts will persist in Belarus for the next few days. For motorists, this is a reason to reconsider the choice of fuel. By the way, specialists from Mozyr plant have developed a method of diesel production. It can withstand frosts down to -32 C˚. The fuel meets not only national requirements but also European standards. Low-temperature characteristics were improved thanks to a special technological process. Diesel fuel shows excellent filterability and high stability even in arctic climates.

Andrey Yesin, Head of Quality and Standardization Service, Mozyr Refinery OJSC: "The refinery has introduced a process for catalytic deporphinization of diesel fuel. It is aimed at reducing paraffin of normal structure in diesel fuel. This makes it possible to produce fuel with the required low-temperature characteristics."

The products of Mozyr refinery are expected in more than 20 countries of the world. The main export routes for diesel fuel are Ukraine, Russia, and the Baltic countries.
