Axens selected by YPF for diesel production upgrade solution

Axens will deliver the unit under prefabricated modular form, supporting YPF’s objective to execute this unit on fast-track schedule with minimal on-site activity, while maintaining refinery operations.

Axens’ modular prefabrication approach reduces the overall project delivery schedule by 6 months compared to a conventional stick-built method. Thanks to the integration of pressure vessels, structure, piping and instrumentation within modules assembled in a dedicated yard, Axens has provided a competitive and derisked solution, limiting site work and co-activity while optimising CAPEX.

Prime-D is Axens' diesel hydrotreating technology for the production of ultra-low sulfur diesel. Backed by a large number of industrial references worldwide, the technology combines proven performance, operational flexibility and reliability, enabling refiners to meet stringent fuel specifications while optimising project economics and long-term operating efficiency.

YPF's confidence was further strengthened by Axens' track record in delivering major modular projects in Argentina.
