HPCL to restart CCR petrol-making unit

13 Mar 2015 Evaluate

Hindustan Petroleum Corporation (HPCL) is aiming to restart a catalytic reformer (CCR) petrol-making unit by March 14, 2015 following a minor fire caused by a leak, its head of refineries BK Namdeo told Reuters.

The company’s 166,000 barrels-per-day (bpd) Vizag refinery in southern India has one CCR and an isomerisation unit. The plant also has two naphtha hydrotreaters (NHT), each attached to the gasoline-making units of fluid catalytic cracker (FCC) and the CCR.

There was a minor fire in one of the vessels of the CCR due to a flange leak. The company had shut the CCR and attached NHT. The other units FCC-NHT and isomerisation were operational.

HPCL operates two major refineries producing a wide variety of petroleum fuels and specialties, one in Mumbai (west coast) of 6.5 million metric tonnes per annum (MMTPA) capacity and the other in Vishakapatnam (east coast).
