involved in marine fuel manufacturing.”

We are working on developing new processes and techniques that allow us to obtain more sustainable heavy products.
The main objective of the RASIS project is to research the new integrated conversion system for heavy and residual hydrocarbons.
The project aims to optimize the processes needed to obtain an ultra-low-sulfur marine fuel (less than 0.5%), from economically attractive crude oil.
In collaboration with the Institute of Carbochemistry at the Spanish National Research Council, we have developed new analytical and characterization techniques for fuel oil, capable of predicting the stability of samples and the compatibility between different components in fuel oil blends.
