| CAPACITY ENHANCEMENT / REVAMPS AND PRODUCT QUALITY IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS | ||
Lube
II Refinery Dewaxing Unit Revamp Project |
||
In
order to meet the growing demand of LBO, a Lube Revamp Project
has been undertaken with the technical assistance of Exxon Mobil.
On completion of the project, the production capacity of the second
lube refinery will be enhanced by 14,800 tpa. Dilchill Crystallization
Process Technology will be utilized for production of high viscosity
bright stock (BS HVI) grade of lube oil. Estimated cost of the
project is Rs. 962 million. The project is expected to be completed
in 3rd quarter of 2005. |

Octane
Number Improvement Project |
||
NRL
has executed formal agreement with UOP for conducting scoping
studies leading to the possible induction of improved technology
at the Platformer unit. NRL expects to enhance capacity to produce
MS 90 Octane or extend cycle of operation to 36 months after project
completion. The project will provide flexibility for meeting future
MS specifications of higher Octane. |

HSD
Desulfurization Project |
||
NRL
is presently producing HSD of around 1.0 % sulfur content. In
view of clean fuel quality requirements, NRL is planning upgradation
of its facilities to enable production of HSD of 0.05 wt. % Sulfur
content. Ultimate aim is to reduce sulfur further to 50 parts
per million. UOP, an international process designer & licensor,
is carrying out techno economic feasibility for conversion of
redundant Kero Hydrobon unit to Diesel service.
After project completion, NRL will be the first refinery in Pakistan to produce diesel of low sulfur upto 500 ppm and further to less than 50 ppm - ULSD, i.e. Euro IV Specification. ( ULSD -- Ultra Low Sulphur Diesel ) |
