When RON95 is expected to be more expensive after lifting of subsidy, I don't think we'll see Euro IV in 2020.
BHP is already 3Mno difference in price
RON95 EURO 4M on 1/1/2020, Do you think it will be implemented?

QUOTE(mushigen @ Dec 5 2019, 02:40 PM) it's just a processin long term, should be no difference at all if it's way more expensive, thn why BHP still sell at same price plus the facilities is already being built + our neighboring countries have all moved to euro 5 already(although some uses RON92) This post has been edited by MR_alien: Dec 5 2019, 02:45 PM |

QUOTE(mushigen @ Dec 5 2019, 02:51 PM) Euro 3M isn't Euro 4M, so I'm not sure if you can compare the cost of producing 3M with that of 4M. it's just a processIf Euro 4M is not more expensive, why won't the oil companies start offering at same price? When you remove more sulphur from gasoline, you need extra treating facility (Merox, Merichem or whatever). You need caustic solution (NaOH) or whatever the new technology requires. The spent caustic has to be regenerated and not all its strength can be recovered so you need to top up with fresh caustic solution all the time. Then you have to recover the sulphur and dispose of the sulphur. These need additional CAPEX (new vessels, pumps, pipings) and OPEX (electricity to run the pumps, caustic solution procurement, etc) we never start offering is because all our factory standard is still under 2m in order to start selling 4m or 5...all the equipment has to be upgraded/brand new it's never more expensive or cheap, they won't know because it's just a process for them(filter oil) but in order to do that, they need new equipment since ours are stuck at 2m but the 4M's factory is built...so they can start process out euro 4m fuel problem with malaysia is, we never future proof anything...not just O&G....other industry included when time to upgrade, the whole thing needs to be replaced entirely and "that" cost alot of money which is why people feel like it's expensive This post has been edited by MR_alien: Dec 5 2019, 03:40 PM |

QUOTE(mushigen @ Dec 5 2019, 04:37 PM) I cannot agree with your last paragraph. It takes money to future proof any plants. If you build a new gasoil desulphuriser today, will you cater for the specification expected in the near future, or do you look 30 years ahead and go for a plant that can do zero ppm of sulphur at the same run length? so does this mean every country in this world is doing it wrongly?You'll need bigger reactor, bigger furnace, bigger compressors. And when you run at 10ppm mode, you're underitilizing your capex and possibly not operating efficiently. There's a process called debottlenecking where you upgrade the plant when it's necessary. Or sometimes you build a new plant because it's more economical. An example is the Hijau project by then- Shell PD. and we're the only ones doing it correctly??...and should maintain at 2m? our cost can only be based on the new machinery already because instead of upgrade....we need a new plant to product 4m fuel which is already being build sometimes i wonder, why other countries especially our neighboring countries can while we can't because somehow everything is just wrong last time slogan is malaysia boleh, now it seem everybody boleh...we tak boleh instead cost will surely be increased but by how much?...there is also no point buying a euro 5 compliant car/engine but we can only pump 2m fuel into it...isn't it?(this part is same as your concept of "underutilizing" as well) |

And next year rotate with Caltex. 1. this plan has be overdue since a long time ago...our neighboring countries are all using euro 5 for few years already bro 2. the plant for E4M is already being built...why would someone U-turn it and let the new refinery unused? 3. it's better for our environment |
