For reference: the above MC appeared in 1998 as a branch of Hart Energy Publishing LLP.This information company in the energy sector is now one of the largest in the world. IFQC is a service that specializes in collecting analytical data on the quality of transport fuel.

Sulfur compounds have a harmful effect on human health, the environment. Thanks to the purification of gasoline, it is possible to significantly reduce the emission of sulfur, nitrogen oxides, carbon, make the engine work longer and more efficient.
