The investment in the new HDT will be US$ 458 million, and it is expected that approximately 3,000 direct jobs and another 3,000 indirect jobs will be generated in the region during the construction period. With this unit, the fourth HDT at Replan, all diesel produced at the refinery will be low sulfur, in addition to allowing an increase in the production of aviation kerosene (QAV).
