To the best my info, all of this started in 2010 when the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency of USA) made it compulsory for all diesel fuel vehicles to be equipped with SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) System. SCR technology is not new as I learnt about in an Esso Seminar about diesel...

I have never personally run Urals in a refinery but it does not appear to be too different from some of the Arab Gulf crudes: Urals is 30.6 API & 1.48 % Sulphur. Arab Medium is 31 API & 2.55 Sulphur, Iran Heavy is 30.7 API & 1.80 Sulphur I am familiar with the PRL which was designed to run on...

As always very aptly put. However you forgot to mention population control, the current population growth rate is sure shot path to eternal poverty. Whether run by PDM or PTI; the need of the hour is first to save the country from the immediate economic collapse and then make “Structural...

Best thing would have been to let market forces decide oil prices ; this would have avoided circular debt as well as carrying the blame for the higher fuel prices.. But Pakistanis like to control every thing., That is why 18th amendment was so long in coming.

Recommends to the Petroleum Ministry which is responsible for setting the fuel prices in the country. Why do you think that a regulatory body is necessary? Had there been privately /foreign owned petroleum storage & distributing companies only; there was a strong possibility of a 'Cartel'...

Regulated markets are things of the. past. Only item you can control these days is the profit margin of the oil companies and the patrol pump dealers. Except those who are surplus or self sufficient , no country that I am aware off is selling to the retail at lower than their out of pocket...

Pakistan is perhaps the only country in the world which sells petrol & diesel to general public at lower price than what it costs,. For example Indian average petrol price is about Rs 100 per litre which equates to Pk Rs 259. London petrol station sell gasoline at £1.74 per litre or about Pk Rs...

Gee Whiz!!!!!!. This is something beyond my league. My knowledge being decades old ( I finished my Masters in Chem. Eng'g in 1967), At that time even to find construction materials, mostly Ceramics that could withstand temperatures about 10,000 Dec C was an arduous task. Here the...

I am against the PTI campaign to malign the entire Opposition, the Pak Army leadership and the Judiciary as well the media by insinuating that they were part of the international conspiracy led by USA to oust him. In my opinion ( right or wrong), Imran Khan has built his whole narrative on...

Wishing all Muslim members " Eid Mubarak"

In laymen’s terms, the distillation/fractionating column has 3 main restrictions. Diameter of the column determines how much volume of vapours can be accommodated, in other words its capacity. Height of the column determines degree of fractionation, because greater number of bubble-cap plates...

I have also been forwarded some comments criticizing the Pak Army's stance on neutrality. Admittedly Imran Khan has support of about a third of the population but what baffles me is that how can educated and same people be so enamoured of Imran Khan that only he is right and all others...

More I watch the shenanigans by PTI as well as the Opposition on the TV, more convince I become that the real tragedy of Pakistan is the lack of capable, honest and wise leadership. Decades of corrupt political leadership was replaced by an inexperienced and incompetent government whose...

A barrister representing the PTI was also on the show, he did not refute her comments. The show called 'Nasim Zehra' at 8 PM of 30th March 2022 should be available on the Youtube tomorrow. You could check it out yourself. Besides, since the letter is written by a Pakistani diplomat, it is...

Just heard on Naseem Zehra show on the TV (Nasim Zehra at 8PM) that the "Letter" in question is in fact a memorandum from Asad Qaiser detailing his assessment of the US -Pakistan relations which he gathered after meetings with the people in Washington. Assad Qaiser was our ambassador in the US...

I firmly believe that except for the elimination of OBL, the war was a disaster for the USA as well as for Afghanistan. Kindly peruse the human and financial cost of this war and the decide who actually won the war? According to the figures published in the AP-News...

My point Sir is that Imran Khan is as much of a 'Horse Trader' as Zardari 0r Nawaz Sharif, how else he could mange to get his man elected as Chairman of the Senate when the opposition had a substantial majority? Admittedly Nawaz Sharif's supporters committed the despicable crime of attacking...

You are quite correct. However, Imran had some extremely rich supporters such as Jehangir Tareen. Many so called 'electables' were persuaded to join the PTI by his efforts which enabled PTI to win 35 seats in 2013 election from a mere handful in 2008 and 149 in 2018. It would be very naïve to...

Margret thatcher was forced to resign when she lost confidence of her own party members. Boris Johnson also became UK P.M. through political machinations against Teresa May. This is the standard parliamentary procedure in democracies. It is neither abnormal nor anything to worry about for a...

Excellent idea. Better late than never.
