Sapref’s new R50m reactor to enable better low-sulphur diesel production

The South African Petroleum Refinery’s (Sapref’s) new R50-million reactor arrived at the Durban port earlier this week. The 242 t, 31-m-long reactor will enable Sapref, which is a joint venture between Shell Refining South Africa and BP Southern Africa, to produce “better, low-sulphur diesel”, thereby ensuring the future sustainability of diesel supply to the country.
