Projects
Project Status
1. Power System Upgradation Project:
The project envisages enhancement of grid connectivity and refinery system upgradation, which includes implementation of Grid connectivity at 220 / 33 KV level to the refinery and grid connectivity at 110/33 KV to Aromatics. Refinery electrical system upgrades, STG and cooling water system modifications, along with other enabling activities, are part of the projects scope. Integrated load-shedding is also included. MRPL will draw power from the Bajpe Main Receiving Station, which in turn will receive power from the 400 KV Substation situated at Kadandale. This 400 KV SS job and lines up to the receiving station are carried out by M/s KPTCL. MRPL will draw full power from the KPTCL facility once it is ready. Project activities are in progress, and targeted project completion is April 2026.
2.Demo Bio-ATF Project of 20 KLPD capacity:
As a part of the United Nations plan to offset aviation emissions, the carbon offsetting and reduction scheme for international aviation (CORSIA) is being implemented to address any annual increase in CO2 emissions from international civil aviation above 2020 levels. However, India will be participating in the second phase of CORSIA from 2027 onwards, during which BIO ATF (also known as Sustainable Aviation fuel) is required to be blended with crude oil-based jet fuel so as to reduce net CO2 emissions. As per the directions of the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas (MoP&NG), MRPL is setting up a 20KLPD demo bio-ATF plant integrated with the refinery. Project activities are in progress, targeted project completion is January 2027.
3. Iso Butyl Benzene:
Iso-Butyl Benzene (IBB) is widely used in the industrial manufacture of ibuprofen, an analgesic and anti-inflammatory, over-the-counter painkiller. Proof-of-concept R&D and mini-pilot studies have already been completed by MRPL in collaboration with CSIR-NCL on IBB manufacturing process technology. The process technology has been patented, and MRPL owns the 100% IP. MRPL is now in the process of setting up the IBB demo plant of 200 TPA capacity from captive raw material streams. Project activities are in progress. The plant is targeted to be commissioned by November 2025.
4. Rerouting of Aromatic Complex Pipelines From Jetty 13 To Jetty 10/11 of NMPA:
The project envisages Re-routing of the Aromatic complex products & feed cross-country pipelines 18” Para xylene, 16 Inch Benzene & 18 Inch Naphtha from present Jetty 13 to Jetty 10 &11. Project activities are in progress, and targeted project completion is July 2026.
5. Replacement of 20 Inch Fuel Oil (FO) Line from Refinery to Jetty Area with New Above-Ground Line:
The project envisages laying a new 20 Inch FO export line as a replacement for the existing line from the refinery to NMPA. Project activities are in progress, and targeted project completion is August 2026.
6. Laying of New treated water Line From MRPL Effluent Treatment Plants 1&2 to APMC point:
Laying of New Effluent Line from MRPL Effluent Treatment Plants 1&2 to APMC point. The material of construction of the Pipe shall be upgraded material, i.e., High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE). Project activities are in progress, and targeted project completion is November 2025.
