It is one of the grass root refinery of India since 1955 started by Shell. The
Refinery had primary & secondary facility for crude oil processing. There were
various units like Crude Distillation, Cracker, Vacuum Distillation, Bitumen unit,
Boiler House, etc.

Tasks:
Associated since the start-up & worked in FCCU unit for (3200 T/D of feed) both
in Field & control room (YOKOGAWA CENTUM). It was the latest technology for
cracking the middle distillate to get gasoline & diesel. The unit contained
Reactor, Riser, and Regenerator & Fractionator. The cracking was achieved with
the help of silica-alumina catalyst at @ 620 C. The other units independently
handled were Compressor & Blower, Gas concentration unit, High vacuum unit,
Sulphur Recovery unit (SRU), Gasoline & LPG treatment unit and Utilities.

VDU (Vacuum Distillation Unit) : This unit was further refining the long residue
(LR) from final stage of separation in CDU
The LR was heat again at 395-400 C and introduced to vacuum column at
-760mm Hg pressure. The light distillate called
Waxy was produced with Short residue at the bottom. The Waxy was the feed of
FCCU for productioing Gas/LPG/Gasoline
and LCO/HCO for making diesel. The capacity of unit was 2000 T/D.

temperatures. Relative to VGO, resid contains larger quantities of polycyclic aromatics
and smaller quantities of paraffins. Relative to VGO, resid has a lower API gravity and
lower hydrogen content. Conradson carbon and heterocyclics of sulphur, nitrogen and
oxygen, as well as organometallics of nickel and vanadium tend to concentrate in the
heaviest fraction.
