ONGC subsidiary Mangalore
Refinery &
Petrochemicals (MRPL) achieved the feed-cut into the
petrochemical fluidized catalytic cracking unit (PFCCU), one of the major secondary process units in its Phase III, the company announced on Monday.
MRPL’s FCC, with design capacity of 2.2 million tpy, is the second such unit in the country and it can produce about 20% of its product as polymer-grade propylene, apart from almost 25% of product as LPG.
The unit will enable MRPL to triple the LPG production from this 15 million tpy grassroots
refinery.
The
technology of the process is licensed from Technip Stone & Webster, and the
project was executed by Engineers
India Ltd.
“Currently the unit is under stabilization," said Shri Vijay Joshi, the
refinery director at MRPL. "The products -- LPG, naphtha and light cycle oil -- have been routed to respective destinations.”
