Guwahati Refinery Undertakes Modernization Projects
Modernization projects are currently being carried out at the Guwahati refinery, owned by Indian oil. It has recently been announced that the INDAdept-G project will be on stream in November 2015. The project is based on technology for converting heavy gasoline to a blendable fuel by removing the sulfur. Studies are also underway to construct a paraffin and microcrystalline wax unit.
The 35,000 MT per annum facility, with an estimated cost of USD 26 million, will use indigenous technology developed by IOCL’s research and development team and is intended to cater to the demand for high-quality fuel after BS-IV vehicle emission norms become compulsory in Tier II and other cities.
Kuwait National Petroleum Company, Qatar Petroleum and Emirates National Oil Company have all shown interest in a 26% stake in a soon to be commissioned petrochemicals complex. The ONGC facility will be built in the Mangalore Special Economic Zone. The aromatics complex is e expected to produce 0.9 million tpy of paraxylene and 0.3 million tpy of benzene.
