Honeywell to Modernize Iraqi Refinery

Honeywell has announced that the Lanaz refinery in Erbil will use its technology to upgrade its operations so it can produce cleaner-burning transportation fuels.

It says the project marks the first use of its UOP modular technology in Iraq, and will help Lanaz comply with increasingly strict specifications for fuel products. The Lanaz Refinery was built in 2008, and processes about 100,000 barrels of crude oil per day.
