Saratov oil refinery has mastered advanced fuel

the Russian oil refining factories mastered the production of fuel complying with environmental standards "Euro-6". While on the front standard moved only one enterprise — the Saratov refinery, owned by Rosneft. As noted in the company, gasoline a new class of significantly reducing the toxicity of exhaust gases.

"At the Saratov refinery for the first time in the region launched the production of gasoline the level of "Euro 6" exhaust emissions of such fuel is much lower. In addition, when using this gasoline by 12.5% reduces the amount of deposits on intake valves and 12.7 % of deposits in the combustion chamber of the engine of the car" — said the press-Secretary of the Ministry of industry and energy of Saratov region Vladimir Komarov.

As noted in the Department, informed the operational characteristics of the new fuel was recorded examination conducted by the Russian research Institute of oil refining. To launch the new line needed to carry out the reconstruction of the refinery. It is noteworthy that while standards "Euro-6" produced only gasoline AI-95.

What will a new environmental class of ordinary motorists? Formally, any increase in environmental standard serves one purpose — to reduce emissions. According to a study by "Rosneft" running on gasoline "Euro-6" produced 9.5% carbon monoxide (CO), 3.6 percent less hydrocarbons and 3.9% less nitrogen oxides.

If to speak about a household's characteristics, it is unlikely that the transition to a new class, something noticeable will change for motorists. Maybe a little cleaner would be the engine: a new gasoline needs to remove up to 62% of deposits in the engine (again, according to "Rosneft"). In theory this should have a positive impact on fuel consumption, power and durability of the engine.
