The Dominican Petroleum Refinery (Refidomsa) is building a new pipeline that will connect with Bajos de Haina port to supply fuels to the domestic market. The project, which will take about 18 weeks to complete, involves replacement of two 12- and 6-in. OD pipes with 12- and 8-in ones.
The pipelines will transport imported fuels 1.7 km from Pier 1/2 to Refidomsa's storage tanks.
Refidomsa also exports 0.5%-sulfur fuel oil to North America from its 34,000-b/d refinery (OGJ Online, Mar. 2, 2020).
The project will cost 100 million pesos ($1.75 million)
