Paradip Refinery
Paradip Refinery, commissioned in 2016, is situated in Paradip, Jagatsinghpur district in the State of Odisha. Situated on the Eastern Coast this refinery caters to the petroleum products demand majorly across east, south and central India & is strategically located for export of petroleum products to South-East Asian countries.
Paradip Refinery is Indian Oil鈥檚 first refinery with single Atmospheric Column for processing 15.0 Million Metric Tonnes Per Annum. The crude receipt is by 3 nos. Single Point Mooring (SPM) located at around 25 kms inside the sea to facilitate Crude delivery by VLCC. The refinery is designed to process 100% High Sulphur Crude and crude with TAN of 0.5.
Several first-time technological features have been installed at Paradip Refinery including Alkylation unit for producing alkylate which is a low benzene MS blend stock, Flue Gas Desulphurisation facilities for firing high Sulphur Vacuum Residue in Boilers & Vapour Recovery system from jetty loading to meet the stringent emission norms of SOx and Volatile organic emissions despite processing heavy high Sulphur Crude. The refinery is in a synergic partnership with the environment with strictly monitored liquid effluent discharge and controlled stack emissions which are uplinked on real time basis to the server of Central Pollution Control Board.
Paradip Refinery is the only PSU refinery equipped with an Alkylation unit capable of producing octane-rich low-benzene MS blend component. The refinery configuration also consists of 鈥淚NDMAX鈥 unit which is based on indigenous IOCL technology. It is capable of producing high yields of LPG, Propylene & Ethylene. The refinery can produce various petroleum products like Gasoline, HSD, SKO, Aviation Turbine Fuel, Propylene, Sulphur, and Petroleum Coke. The refinery is also designed to produce Premium quality Gasoline and HSD variants for export. Major units are AVU, INDMAX, PRU, Coker, CCRU, VGO Hydro-treater, Sulphur Recovery unit, Diesel hydro-treater, Sulphuric Acid Regeneration Unit (SARU), Alkylation Unit, ERU, MEG, PP.
To expand IOCL鈥檚 petrochemical footprint a ERU (Ethylene Recovery Unit) and MEG (Mono Ethylene Glycol) unit have been installed and commissioned.
Paradip Refinery also produces various grades of PP from its Polypropylene unit and MEG, DEG & TEG from the Mono Ethylene Glycol Unit.
