Prime Minister Narendra Modi will dedicate MRPL's two landmark projects to the nation this week. These projects are a BS-VI upgrade project, executed at a cost of Rs 18.29 billion in the MRPL site, and a 30 million liter per day desalination plant, executed at a cost of Rs 6.77 billion, at 14.5 acres at Tannirbhavi Beach.
MRPL's BS-VI upgrade project is critical to achieving India's environmental goals. The project aims to produce BS-VI grade ultra-pure fuel with a sulfur content of less than 10 parts per million (PPM). As part of this project, ONGC MRPL has set up a new FCCU gasoline treatment unit, a sulfur recovery unit and a nitrogen plant. The consultant for the project was Engineers India Ltd (EIL). The whole system is up and running producing environmentally friendly BS-VI fuels.
The desalination plant has a capacity of 30 million liters per day and can be expanded to 70 MLD. The installation converts seawater into the water needed for the refining processes. The factory runs on seawater reverse osmosis technology.
The consultant for the project is Fichtner Consulting Engineers (India) Pvt Ltd. The factory is now fully functional. The availability of desalinated water keeps the refinery running smoothly year-round, according to a press release.
