Rio de Janeiro, June 28, 2021 - Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. – Petrobras informs that it has started today an international bidding process, in EPC (engineering, procurement and construction) mode, for the implementation of a new diesel hydrotreatment unit and the necessary auxiliary systems, aiming at adapting and modernizing the refining park at the Paulínia Refinery (REPLAN).
With this project, REPLAN will be able to produce 100% of low-sulfur diesel oil (S-10) and increase the production of jet fuel, aiming to meet the specifications and quantities demanded by the future market, in an economical way, with operational safety and lower impacts to the environment.
