“Two mouths from a construction point of view, it is completely built, there are the 18 plants that make up the refinery. We are in the process of testing each and every one of the plants, but it is a process where it is tested first with air, then with nitrogen and then it is tested with hydrocarbons before being able to integrate them into the other plants, each and every one of the plants. Plants have to be tested in this way.
“Evidently, there are thousands of components, there is always a missing screw that was not fully tightened, there is always a missing piece (sic), all the tests are given to guarantee,” Romero explained.
He added that this month tests will begin at the diesel plant with an intermediate liquid from the Madero refinery, “something like a crude diesel with a lot of sulfur” to convert it into ultra-low sulfur diesel, but it will allow the facilities to be tested and begin already with the production of this hydrocarbon.
“The most important thing is that we are going to test this plant, it will be the first, in fact today we should already be starting with the first ultra-low sulfur barrels produced.
“In the coming weeks we are going to enter with regular gasoline and later with magna gasoline. We still have a few weeks left, today we are going to start the production of ultra sulfur garlic,” Romero noted.
