Essar Energy’s subsidiary Essar Oil has successfully commissioned the hydrogen manufacturing unit (HMU), the third new unit to be commissioned as part of the Phase I expansion at its Vadinar Refinery.

The company will commission six additional units by March 2012, thus completing Rs 8,310 crore expansion project that will increase the Vadinar Refinery's capacity and enhance its complexity almost two-fold. While capacity will increase to 18 million metric tonnes per annum (MMTPA) i.e. 375,000 barrels per day (bpd) from 14 MMTPA currently i.e. 300,000 bpd, the refinery complexity will reach to 11.8 up from 6.1 at present.

An optimization project is also under execution at the refinery to further increase the capacity to 20 MMTPA i.e. 405,000 bpd by September 2012. The capacity expansion, complexity enhancement and subsequent optimization will give the Vadinar refinery the capability to process over 80% heavy and ultra-heavy crudes, which are lower cost than light crudes. In terms of product yield, the expanded Vadinar Refinery will have the flexibility to produce higher value products, including pet coke.

The HMU helps produce and supply 99.9% pure Hydrogen gas to the DHDT and VGO-HDT for the hydrotreating process. The HMU at Easer Oil's Vadinar Refinery is licensed by Haldor Topsoe and designed by UOP, one of the world's leading licensors of technology for the petroleum refining industry.

The HMU is designed to operate on six feedstock options-Natural Gas, Saturated Refinery Fuel Gas, Saturated LPG, Hydrotreated / Stabilized Naphtha and a blend of Saturated LPG and Hydrotreated Naphtha-bringing down costs and strengthening refinery margins. The HMU has an installed capacity to generate 130 kNm3/hr of Hydrogen gas, making it among the largest units in the world with HTER (Heat Exchanger Reformer) technology.

Essar Oil is a fully integrated oil & gas company of international scale with strong presence across the hydrocarbon value chain from exploration and production to refining and oil retail.
