Ecoslops’ refinery in the Port of Sinès, Portugal, has commenced industrial production and delivered the first volume of marine fuel products compliant with ISO8217, validating the company’s commercial proposition.
In the third quarter of 2015, 3,200 metric tons of slops were imported from Northern Europe, in conjunction with slops collected in the port, mainly at the oil terminal and from MSC, the leading global container shipping company. 1,400 metric tons of fuel products have subsequently been produced for the marine market, comprising distillates (MDO) and heavy fuel oil (IFO); and light bitumen for the roofing and isolation markets. This development validates the company’s value proposition, with 98 percent of slops being recycled for commercial use.
