IOCL: Paradip refinery - Growing bigger and stronger
Running at full utilization
Our recent visit to IOC’s Paradip refinery has strengthened our confidence in
the company’s refining potential.
The refinery’s mother unit is operating at full utilization, while secondary units
are also running at optimum levels. The refinery has started taking heavy crude.
According to management, there is significant leeway to increase utilization of
the secondary units by buying intermediate feedstock. This would further
support the GRM.
The refinery is expected to produce 27% petrol, in addition to 42% diesel, 5%
ATF and 8.6% petcoke. Fuel & loss is ~10%, but will come down with offtake of
~7mmscmd of RLNG, once the Dhamra LNG terminal is operational.
The refinery is expected to commission its Polypropylene capacity by December
2018.
