notice to proceed

Economic/Social Impact of the Project Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited Mumbai Refinery [MR], with a capacity of 15 MMTPA, plays a key role in India clean fuel supply, producing Euro VI-grade Motor Spirit [2.7 MMTPA] and High-Speed Diesel [6.9 MMTPA].To enhance reliability and safety, BPCL is replacing two aging units with a state of the art Petro Resid Fluidized Cracker Unit [PRFCC] licensed by M/s UOP Honeywell. This upgrade enables MR to process more high sulfur crude [60percent vs 45percent], reduce heavy fuel oil output, and convert vacuum residue into high value products like Propylene, MS, and HSD. The PRFCC will reduce SOx and SPM emissions, boost transport fuel output by 1.3 MMTPA, and reduce import reliance. It also positions MR for petrochemical diversification, with 440 KTPA of chemical grade Propylene [87.5percent purity], supporting entry into high growth chemical markets in future. Key facilities include the standalone PRFCC, C3/C4 splitter, revamped Hydrocracker Unit, new Amine Regeneration Unit, upgraded Sour Water Stripper and enhanced utilities.
