Thanlyin Oil Refinery to resume operations aiming for EURO 4 standard

According to the Ministry of Energy (MoE), the No 1 Oil Refinery (Thanlyin) will resume operations and aim to achieve at least EURO 4 Standard quality.
On 27 July, the Union Energy Minister disclosed that the No 1 Oil Refinery (Thanlyin) would restart as soon as possible to produce and distribute fuel to meet domestic demand.
A site survey, factory design, installation of necessary equipment, and construction work must be completed in line with prescribed standards to resume oil production. The Union minister emphasized that proper preparations and employee training are essential for smooth production once the factory reopens.
Additionally, measures must be taken to minimize any environmental and socioeconomic impacts resulting from the refinery’s operation. Necessary courses and seminars should be organized to ensure that current factory employees are proficient not only in manufacturing but also in statistics and management. — TWA/TKO
