HPCL Mumbai refinery to shut half of capacity for two-month revamp

13 Jun 2011 Evaluate

Hindustan Petroleum Corporation (HPCL) will soon begin seeking petroleum products from Reliance Industries, Essar Oil and Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals Ltd, after it shuts down half the capacity of its refinery here for up gradation. HPCL’s Mumbai refinery has a yearly capacity of 6.5 million tonnes. The company plans to shut half of this for two months after this monsoon, for a revamp. The company plans to upgrade one of the two crude distillation units (CDUs) to increase energy efficiency and enable the refinery to process a wider range of crude oil grades. The upgrade could cost Rs 150 crores.
 
After up gradation of the Mumbai refinery, its capacity will rise to seven million tonnes per annum. Also, while it presently processes only low-sulphur Mumbai High crude, it would be able to also refine high-sulphur crude. The company had last year upgraded the refinery’s first CDU. During this year, it expects liquefied petroleum gas production from the refinery to go up by at least 20 per cent at 800,000 tonnes per year and petrol production to up by 10 per cent, at 3.2 million tonnes per year. This April, it had also installed a new fluidized catalytic cracking unit at the Mumbai refinery, for Rs 900 crores.
