Nigeria adopts standards on low sulphur in turbine, marine fuel
THE Nigerian National Technical Committee on Petroleum and Petrochemicals has reached consensus on the adoption of the International Organisation for Standardisation, ISO, standards for Turbine and Marine Fuel as Nigeria Industrial Standard, NIS. This is in conformity with international safety regulations, limiting the sulphur content in heavy fuel oils, in order to reduce the negative effect of sulphur oxide emission from ships into the environment.
