BPCL Director Refineries launches two initiatives of Kochi Refinery

With the completion of Oxygen Enrichment facility in IREP Sulphur Recovery Unit , KR will acquire the capability of processing more quantity of sour crudes like Basra Lt without compromising on Crude thruput and maximising GRM. Also, KR will have the much needed operation flexibility and optimisation possibilities in managing sulphur recovery units available in KR. A major highlight of this facility is that it was achieved with the minimum capex possible. A brand new plant of this kind would have cost somewhere around 130 Cr, and KR achieved this at Rs. 13 Cr by interconnecting existing oxygen plant of FCC unit which will be under-utilised post PDPP commissioning. The Oxygen Enrichment facility will also enhance IREP SRU capacity by an additional 25%.
