Lydia M. Rodriguez Suarez, director of the Super-Tanker Docks where the
enterprise is located and where up to 150 thousand tons ships can operate,
said that the new facility is equipped with the latest technology and can
process some 20 cubic meters per hour of oily water.

The entity receives, stores and markets all domestic crude oil extracted
from deposits in western and central Cuba, part of the imported oil and
its various derivatives, and in it they prepare relevant mixtures to fuel
several industrial sectors.
She told Granma newspaper that the plant will treat wastewater generated
in ships and the residuals that result from handling of crude oil.

Thanks to these sanitation technologies the company is now better able to
protect the environment and marine ecosystem which is basically consistent
with the existing measures for conservation and protection, she assured.

Upon completion of the pipeline works (currently at 60 percent) the plant
will handle all the waste their facilities generate.
