In the recent past, HPCL has commissioned some major projects like:
|
| |
|
| |
| The following major facilities are also to be made available through this project. |
| |
- FCCU Feed Section consisting of feed Pre-heaters & Furnace
- Reactor –Regeneration section consisting of catalyst circulation circuit, catalyst handling section, MAB, flue gas cooling circuit
- Main Fractionator and Gas Concentration Unit (GCU)
- Flue Gas Scrubbing Unit (FGSU)
- Fuel Gas Treating Unit (FGTU)
- Associated utilities, DCS, Substation etc.
|
| |
|
The cost of the project has been estimated at INR 900 Crores. Completion of the project (except FGD unit) is expected in July 2010. Completion of FGD unit is expected in Sept. 2010. |

HPCL operates one of the largest Lube refineries in the country with production in the tune of 335 TMT of various Grades of API Group-1 LOBS having Sulphur above 300 ppm and saturates below 90%. |
| |
|
The market demand for LOBS quality with Sulphur below 300 ppm and saturates above 90% (i.e. API Group-II category) has increased in recent years. Hence HPCL is working to upgrade the production of LOBS quality up to 200 TMT per annum of API Group II category with a capability to produce API Gr-III under the Lube Oil Base Stock Quality Upgradation project. . |
| |
| The cost of this project has been estimated at INR 1030 Crores. |
| |
| The project is expected to be completed by June 2010. |
| |

HPCL is setting up Diesel Hydrotreater Units of 2.2 MMTPA each with associated facilities at Mumbai Refinery (MR) and Visakhapatnam Refinery (VR) to meet Euro-IV specifications for diesel as per the latest Auto Fuel Policy. |
| |
|
|
| |
| The cost of the project is estimated at INR 3284 Crores for Mumbai Refinery and INR 3597 Crores for Visakhapatnam Refinery. The projects are expected to be completed by Sept 2011. |

Visakh Refinery is putting up a SPM project to facilitate unloading of large crude parcels of the size of around 300,000 Metric Tonnes from Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCCs). The VLCCs cannot be berthed in the existing crude receiving jetties due to draught restrictions. |
| |
|
The installation of SPM will reduce the freight cost and wharfage charges and thus will improve the economics of the Refinery. The cost of this project has been estimated at about INR 643 Crores
The Environmental Clearance for this project has been obtained. The offshore and onshore installation work of the project has been completed. |

In order to provide additional ground area to Visakh Refinery for setting up facilities to produce green fuels, it is proposed to shift the adjacently located marketing facilities consisting of POL terminals and LPG Plant. The scope of the green field project consists of setting up of new Black oil, White oil and LPG facilities in the plots acquired from VPT. |
| |
|
Black Oil facilities include setting up of about 94,000 KL storage tanks and two tank truck gantries of 8 bays each to handle Bitumen, Furnace oil (FO), Low Sulphur Heavy stock (LSHS), Light Diesel Oil (LDO) Jute Batching Oil (JBO) and High Flash HSD (HF HSD). |
| |
|
White Oil facilities include storage of about 1,68,000 KL Motor Spirit (MS), High Speed Diesel (HSD), Naphtha & Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF), two tank truck loading gantries of 8 bays each and a single spur T/W gantry to load 46 BTPN tank wagons. |
