Project Profile
Value: US$ 1,100 Million
Location: Haldia, West Bengal, India
Capacity: 7.50 MMTPA
Commissioned: January 1975
Startup Year: 2012
The Haldia refinery is in Haldia near Kolkata (West Bengal), India. The Haldia Refinery for processing 2.5 MMTPA of Middle East crude was commissioned in January 1975 with two sectors - one for producing fuel products and the other for Lube base stocks. .The fuel sector was built with French collaboration and the Lube sector with Romanian collaboration. The refinery produces LPG, Gasoline, Diesel, Asphalt, Wax, Lubricant Base Oil.
The refining capacity of the Refinery was increased to 2.75 MMTPA in 1989 through debottlenecking measures. The refining capacity was further expanded to 3.75 MMTPA with the commissioning of new crude distillation unit of 1.0 MMTPA in March, 1997. The present refining capacity of this Refinery is 7.50 MMTPA. In 2005 The Haldia Refinery Motor Spirit Quality Upgrade Project was completed. The project was implemented to improve the yield and quality of gasoline. In 2010 the operator launched the Euro V diesel project. The refinery is installing a gasoil hydrotreater to meet Euro III / IV standards. The refinery invloves the following refining units :
1. Atmospheric Distillation
2. Diesel Hydro Desulphurisation (DHDS) Unit
3. Resid Fluidised Catalytic Cracking Unit (RFCCU)
4. Catalytic Dewaxing Unit (CIDWU)
5. Hydrocracker
6. Hydrogen Generation Unit
7. Sulphur Recovery Unit
8. Naphtha Splitter - 385,000 MT/YR
9. Naphtha Hydrotreater - 82,000 MT/YR
10.Reformate Splitter - 182,000 MT/YR
11.Isomerisation – LPG Recovery - 122,000 MT/YR
12.Selective Hydrogenation - 200,000 MT/YR
13.FCC Gasoline Splitter - 200,000 MT/YR
14.Prime G+ Selective Hydrodesulphurisation - 160,000MT/YR
