The  Distillate Hydrotreater was originally built in 1995 by Stone&Webster in UK, relocated to the present site in 2002 and shut down in January 2010.

The plant is suitable to process feedstocks as follows (influencing the trhoughput capacity):

• 100% LGO          22,500 bpd
• 100% LCGO        11,000 bpd (approx)
• 100% Kerosene    22,500 bpd.
