    Dec. 2, 2019 | NARL Refining LP is undertaking a crude efficiency project at its 130,000-b/d refinery at Come-by-Chance, Newf., to help achieve compliance with the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) upcoming global cap of 0.5% sulfur on fuel oil by all oceangoing vessels taking effect Jan. 1, 2020. The crude efficiency project includes a $25 million (Can.) investment to install and operate several preheat exchangers and a prefractionation column within the crude unit, as well as several piping modifications, that will enable the site to increase crude throughput to more than 160,000 b/d.
