Description
The refinery's facilities include five atmospheric crude distillation units. The major secondary units include CRU, FCCU and the first hydrocracking unit of the country. Through a pipeline to Ahmedabad and a pipeline connecting to the BKPL pipeline and also by rail and truck, the refinery primarily serves the demand for petroleum products in western and northern India.
When commissioned, the refinery had an installed capacity of 2 mmtpa and was designed to process crude from Ankleshwar, Kalol and Nawagam oilfields of ONGC in Gujarat. The refinery was modified to handle imported and Bombay High crude. The refinery also produces a wide range of specialty products such as benzene, toluene, MTO, food grade hexane, solvents and LABFS.
The Gujarat Refinery is the first refinery in India to have completed the diesel hydrodesulfurization project in June 1999, when the refinery started production of HSD with low sulfur content of 0.25% wt (max).
