印度石油公司将投资逾30亿美元扩建其炼油厂

据能源信息统计1月15日消息，印度炼油商和燃料零售商印度石油公司(IOC)计划投资2220亿卢比(超过31亿美元)，将其位于古吉拉特邦（印度西北部）的Koyali炼油厂的产能从1370万吨/年(27.5万桶/天)提高至1800万吨/年(36.1万桶/天)。该扩建项目将用大型常减压装置(AVU)取代小容量的常压装置和真空装置，从而提高运行效率。该项目还将能够满足100%的BS-VI标准燃料生产。

IOC是印度最大的炼油商，占该国炼油产能的32%(2018年为近500万桶/天)。2018年3月，该集团宣布计划投资2410亿卢比扩建炼油厂，将产能增加480万吨/年(9.6万桶/天)，并提高低硫燃料(BS-IV和BS-VI燃料)的产能。

Indian Oil will invest over US$3bn to expand its Koyali refinery (India)

Indian oil refiner and fuel retailer Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) plans to invest INR 222bn (over US$3.1bn) to expand the capacity of its Koyali refinery in Gujarat (north-western India) from 13.7 Mt/year (275,000 bbl/d) to 18 Mt/year (361,000 bbl/d). The expansion project would improve operational efficiency by replacing smaller capacity atmospheric unit and vacuum units with a large atmospheric vacuum unit (AVU). The project would also enable to meet 100% BS-VI fuel production.

IOC is the largest refiner in India, accounting for 32% of the country’s refining capacity (nearly 5 mb/d in 2018). In March 2018, the group had already announced plans to invest INR 241bn in the expansion of the refinery, to add 4.8 Mt/year (96,000 bbl/d), and to increase the production capacity of lower sulphur fuels (BS-IV and BS-VI fuels).
