Nayara Energy Commissions VGO-MHC Revamp at Vadinar Refinery in Gujarat for BS-VI Diesel Output
Nayara Energy has commissioned its Vacuum Gasoil Mild Hydrocracker (VGO-MHC) Revamp Project at the Vadinar refinery in Gujarat. The upgrade enables the refinery to produce diesel that meets Bharat Stage VI (BS-VI) emission standards across its entire diesel output. The source does not state the investment size.
The revamped unit will run for more than 150 per cent longer between planned shutdowns. The upgrade also improves processing efficiency and gives the refinery more flexibility in handling different crude grades. The refinery’s Nelson Complexity Index has risen to 12.6.
The project included installing a 1,435-tonne reactor within an operating refinery. Nayara Energy said it completed the project through a more self-reliant execution approach.
