    1. Project Objective

    Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) is raising the capacity of its Gujarat refinery as well as setting up a petrochemical plant at the unit as part of plans for upscaling petchem business to protect margins. This project is referred to as “LuPech Project”.

    The project envisages raising the capacity of the Vadodara refinery in Gujarat from 13.7 million tonnes per annum to 18 million tonnes and building a 0.5 million tonnes a year polypropylene (PP) plant and a 2,70,000 tonne a year Lube Oil Base Stock (LOBS) unit. "The project would be a building block for the production of niche chemicals in future with a potential to increase petrochemical and specialty products integration index on incremental crude oil throughput which would enhance the corporate margins of IOC. The Gujarat refinery project is part of IOC's plans to boost petrochemical capacity by more than 70 per cent over the next decade, from 3.2 million tonnes a year currently.

    The Units that are newly installed under the LuPech Project are listed below.

    11. Project Implementation Plan

    The Capacity expansion plan has undergone changes with IOCL’s focus being shifted

    towards Petrochemical and Lube Integration in the Gujarat Refinery through process reconfiguration. Accordingly following major changes have been made as part of process reconfiguration

    New AVU is cancelled and replaced with revamping of the existing AU-5 capacity

    from 3 MMTPA to 7.3 MMTPA along with addition of new VDU of 2.5 MMTPA SR LPG Capacity changed from 200 KTPA to 65 KTPA Polypropylene Unit Capacity Revised from 420 KTPA to 500 KTPA New LOBS unit with 235 KTPA (with associated feed &product tanks and Product

    handling system) is added with feed from existing HCU. Revamp of existing HCU New OCTAMAX Unit of 110kTPA is added IGHDS and KGHDS Units are deleted CCRU in MS Block is deleted and NHT (2400KTPA) and ISOM(925 KTPA)

    capacities reduced to 360 KTPA (for both) and new NSU of 800KTPA added PRU : no change Capacity, but Heat Pump Compressor driver has been changed

    from Steam turbine to Electric Motor Indmax FCCU: No Capacity change, but GDS unit shifted to BS-VI BS-VI GDS Quality Revamp No capacity changes in,CRLPG, SRU, ARU,SWS

    PMC had completed FEED for all units as per Original expansion plan and for the revised and finalized process configuration, the project execution will be as follows:

    For units with no change in capacities, there will be minor updates in FEED by PMC . For (i) the new units, (ii) the units with revised capacities and (iii) Revamp of existing Units, Basic Design Engineering Package will be done by Licensor (except for open art process unit VDU by PMC ) followed by Front End Engineering Design performed by PMC.

  • LAB REVAMP & N-BUTANOL PROJECT DESCRIPTION

    Introduction

    Linear Alkyl Benzene Unit (LAB) was commissioned in Aug 2004 with an production capacity of 1,20, 000 MTPA of LAB. The LAB Complex includes Kerosene Prefractionation Unit, the Distillate Unionfining Unit, the Molex Process Unit (comprising the “Front End Units”), the Pacol Process Unit, the PEP Process Unit, the Detal Process Unit (comprising the “Back End Units”), and the Hot Oil System. In the Front End section n- paraffin is made from Kerosene and this n-paraffin is fed to PACOL unit in Back End Section. Linear Alkyl Benzene(LAB) is produced in Back End Section by reacting treated Pacolate (from PEP) and Benzene using heterogeneous non-corrosive catalyst to form LAB Objective: Increasing the capacity of LAB complex to 135% of the original design capacity or 162,000 MTA of LAB product Basis This study identifies which major pieces of equipment will require modification or replacement to achieve the target capacity The basis of the study was a single feed case with a Low molecular weight (“LMW”) LAB product (having a molecular weight in the range of 235-239) and a high molecular weight (“HMW”) LAB product (having a molecular weight in the range of 239-243). As per the feasibility study Front End section of LAB Complex can be revamped for 35% capacity increase over the name plate capacity, while in the BE section of the LAB plant, the capacity increase can be by 40% over the name plate capacity. Hence, LAB production can be increased to 162 KTA with 135 % revamp Kerosene Prefractionation unit The primary purpose of the Kerosene Prefractionation Unit is to prepare a kerosene heart cut (nominally C10-C13 range) that contains the n-paraffins that, after hydro processing and selective recovery, will meet the desired molecular weight and light/heavy tail requirements for the LAB product. All equipment was evaluated for both the HMW Case and the LMW Case with a normal paraffin product capacity 130 KMTA. Preliminary evaluation indicates that the HMW Case will govern most of existing equipment sizing. The LMW Case operation will govern the Feed Surge Drum, Feed-Rerun Bottoms Exchanger, Rerun Column Net Bottoms Cooler, Feed Pumps and Rerun Column Bottoms Pumps. The Stripper Column and Rerun Column trays appear to be adequate. However the trays require a more detailed evaluation in the next phase. Rerun Column packing needs to be replaced with higher capacity packing. The Feed-Rerun Pump around Exchanger requires a identical shell in parallel for revamp requirement. The Stripper Column Condenser requires additional rows or bays to meet the revamp requirement. For the Feed–Rerun Bottoms Exchanger, the existing exchanger and one shell of the identical exchanger installed already to meet the revamp requirement. All other equipment appear to be adequate.

    D istillate Unionfining Unit The Distillate Unionfining Process Unit hydro treats a kerosene range material to meet the Molex Process Unit feed specifications. The flow scheme is typical of a hydro-processing unit and consists of a reactor section, makeup gas section and a stripping section. The feed to the unit is a kerosene “heart cut” (C10-C13 range) from the Rerun Column in the Kerosene Prefractionation Unit.There is nitrogen in the feed at about the 8 wt. ppm level. Also there is

  • chlorides of up to 3 wt. ppm in the feed. This unit was not designed for any chlorides in the feed. Chlorides can lead to stress corrosion cracking of the valve trims in the Separator and Stripper overhead. It is recommended to upgrade air cooler tubes and header to Alloy 625. In addition the piping from the air cooler to the Separator will be upgraded to Alloy 625 replacing the 300 series stainless steel valve trims for these services with Monel trims. To achieve the revamp capacity, the Reactor internals need major modifications or replacement. An additional shell of exchange be added in series to the Combined Feed Exchanger in order to retain the existing Product Condenser. The operating pressures of the 3rdand the 4th stages of the Makeup Gas Compressor needs to be raised in order to reduce the volumetric flow of the inlet gas. For the Stripper Overhead Trim Condenser, replace the existing exchanger to increase the operational flexibility of the Stripper. Molex Process Unit The Molex Process is a adsorptive separation method that utilizes molecular sieves for the separation of n-paraffins from branched and cyclic hydrocarbons. The separation occurs in the liquid phase under isothermal conditions. Hydotreated kerosene from Unionfining is feed to the Molex Unit All equipment was evaluated for both the High Molecular Weight case (HMW) and the Low Molecular Weight (LMW) case. The majority of the equipment was governed by the HMW case. The feed rate for both cases was set at rates to produce 130 KMTA n-paraffins.New Raffinate Bottoms Trim Cooler is required. The extract Column bottoms trim cooler can be replaced with Raffinate Bottoms Trim Cooler. The existing trays in Raffinate Column and Extract Column need to be replaced with new UOP Simul Flow Trays and PFMD High Capacity trays, respectively. The Desorbent Stripper needs to be replaced with a new column or the existing shell be retained, the trays replaced with high-capacity ECMD trays and relaxing the desorbent specifications.The existing tube bundles need to be replaced with High Flux tube bundles within the Raffinate Column Reboiler, Desorbent Stripper Reboiler and Extract Column Reboiler. An additional shell in series is required for the Raffinate Column Bottoms-Desorbent Exchanger. Replacement impellers are required for the Chamber Circulation, Raffinate Column Overhead, Raffinate Column Bottoms, Raffinate Column Side cut, Desorbent Stripper Bottoms, Extract Column Bottoms, Extract Column Side cut and Desorbent Pumps. The Charge Pumps need to be operated in parallel. All other equipment appears to be adequate.

    P acol with DeFine Process Unit

    The Pacol Process is a fixed bed catalytic process to selectively dehydrogenate a high purity, normal paraffin feed to the corresponding mono-olefin product. A DeFine reactor downstream reduces the di- olefins in the Pacol product. A stripping column is provided to remove light ends from the product before it is sent to the PEP unit.

    P EP Process Unit

    The Pacol Enhancement Process (PEP) unit is a fixed bed adsorption unit for the selective removal of aromatic components from the Pacol product stream. Existing adsorbers will be adequate for the revamp conditions. However, once the unit is in operation, an adjustment in cycle time may be required. It is expected that the desorbent and purge rates are to maintain the same as originally designed. Hence, all the equipment downstream of the adsorbers will be suitable for the revamp conditions. Due to changes in the Detal Unit, the temperature of the desorbent entering the PEP Unit has increased. As a result, two new coolers are required to replace the existing Desorbent-Pacolate Exchanger which will be deleted for the revamp. The design of the coolers will be such that the purge exchangers

  • (Pacolate-Purge Exchanger and Purge Heater) will be adequate. Detal Process Unit The Detal Process is a catalytic process to alkylate benzene with linear olefins to prepare linear alkylbenzene (LAB).All equipment was evaluated for both the High Molecular Weight (estimated LAB MW = 240.8) and the Low Molecular Weight (estimated LAB MW = 237.2) feed cases.For the revamp study, 20% increase in Detal catalyst volume based on 12% paraffin to olefin conversion in the Pacol Unit. Also, the Benzene to Olefins ratio remain unchanged at 30:1, reduced splits in the Recycle Paraffin Stripper, and the proposed re-use of the Detal’s regenerant benzene effluent as desorbent to the PEP unit (for assessing the Benzene Column). It requires modifications to Detal Reactor that include either increasing the effective tangent length or replacing existing reactors with two new reactors.Implementing new benzene flow scheme utilizing spent regenerant benzene as desorbent in the PEP unit to reduce the benzene circulation load.Retaining all of the columns in the Detal Unit as-is, with the exceptions of the Benzene Column trays and the contact condensing packing of the Recycle Paraffin Stripper and Paraffin Column.In order to supply the additional cooling duty required for revamp operation, the addition of three new water trim coolers is required. These services are the Paraffin Column, LAB Column, and Finishing Column overheads.All the exchangers appear to be adequate for the Detal Process Unit with the exceptions of the Reactor Charge Heater, Benzene Column Reboiler, Paraffin Column Reboiler, LAB Clay Treater Effluent Exchanger, Finishing Column Reboiler, Finish Column Preheater, Net LAB Trim Cooler, Benzene Column Condenser, Paraffin Column Overhead Cooler, and Finishing Column Overhead Cooler, which may require replacement or modification.Most of the pumps appear to require either replacement or modification for the Detal Process Unit with the exception of the Desorbent Pumps, Benzene Column Bottoms Pumps, Recycle Paraffin Stripper Bottoms Pumps, Paraffin Column Bottoms Pumps, LAB Column Bottoms Pumps, and Off-Spec Pump which appear to be adequate for the revamp operation.

    H ot Oil Unit

    The Hot Oil System is a heat source for a number of exchangers within the LAB Complex. The transfer of heat is accomplished by pumping hot oil (Therminol 66) through a recirculation network between the various complex units. After the exchange of heat, the cooled oil is returned to the Hot Oil Surge Drum. The accumulative heat loss from the hot oil users is replenished with a fired heater that increases the hot oil temperature back up to the original supply temperature.No apparent revisions are required to the hot oil system.

Gas and 4300 Nm3/hr of Hydrogen inside Gujarat refinery premises along with installation of (iii) Acrylic acid unit (90 kTA) & (IV) Butyl Acrylate unit (150 kTA) at Dumad near Gujarat Refinery. Propylene is raw material to Normal Butanol unit at Gujarat refinery & Acrylic acid unit at Dumad. Out of total 120 kTA propylene requirement for the project, 75 kTA Propylene will be available from PRU Unit proposed at Gujarat refinery under the J-18 capacity expansion projectBalance quantity will be met by propylene tankers from IOCL Mathura refinery for which unloading & storage system is envisaged at Dumad. Normal Butanol will be produced from Propylene, Syn Gas & Hydrogen and Acrylic Acid will be produced from Propylene. Normal Butanol and Acrylic Acid will be utilized for production of Butyl Acrylate. Units at Gujarat Refinery: (i) Synthesis Gas Unit: Modification of existing HGU-II unit at Gujarat Refinery has been envisaged to produce Syn Gas (capacity=8500 Nm3/h) and Hydrogen (capacity=4300 Nm3/h), the key raw materials for production of Oxo Alcohol. The unit is designed to process both Naphtha / Natural gas feedstock depending on availability. (ii) Normal Butanol Unit: A new Oxo Alcohol Unit with capacity to produce 90 KTA Normal-Butanol (NBA), a major feedstock for Butyl Acrylate production, has been considered. Oxo unit utilizes propylene and Syn gas as feedstock. Iso-butanol (~2.57 KTA) is a byproduct from the Unit and is intended for merchant sale.

    Units at Dumad: (i) Acrylic Acid Unit: Propylene from Mathura and Gujarat refinery along with air is the major feedstocks for the Acrylic Acid unit (90 KTA capacity). Acrylic acid is produced by oxidation of

  • propylene in presence of oxidation catalyst. (ii) Butyl Acrylate unit: NBA and Acrylic Acid undergo esterification in BA Unit (150 KTA capacity) to produce Butyl Acrylate, the main product from the project.

    Following project configuration has been considered for the proje

  • Conclusion: Gujarat Refinery, IOCL received EC form MoEF dated 14.07.2020 for J-18/LAB Revamp/N-Butanol project. Subsequently considering the change in product demand scenario in market and for optimization of project cost/economics, J-18 Project was revisited and after requisite value addition by inclusion of petrochemicals and specialty products (Lubes), the overall economic viability of the project was made better through modification in project configuration and product profile. Accordingly fresh EC application under modernization category is being submitted online for this modified project. However, through the analysis of the above feasibility reports of the three projects, it can be concluded that there will not be any incremental change in pollution load or resource depletion as compared to earlier projects for which approved EC had already been granted to Gujarat Refinery.

    2. Process Units

    2.1 AU-V Revamp

    The existing atmospheric unit (AU-5) of Gujarat Refinery is designed to process 3.0 MMTPA of Arab mix crude. The unit consists of pre heat train on the upstream and downstream of desalters which are operating in series. The capacity of the existing crude preheat train is 375 MT/ hr.

    The crude gets heated to a temperature of 290°C in the pre heat train before entering the Charge heater (Furnace) where it is further heated to the required temperature at the inlet of Atmospheric Distillation Column (Main Fractionation column). In the existing configuration, there is no Pre-topping column.

    The main atmospheric (fractionator) column has three numbers of circulating reflux viz. as following which are withdrawn from product draw trays and circulated back to the column after exchanging the heat with the feed crude in the crude pre heat train.

    2.2 New Vacuum Distillation Unit (VDU)

    A new VDU of 2.5MMTPA is envisaged as part of Lupech project. A simple process description of this unit is provided below.

    Reduced crude from AU-V revamp is received in the Feed Surge Drum from proposed AU-V revamp unit and intermediate storage tanks. RCO will be received as cold feed from storage tanks and also as hot feed directly from atmospheric units. RCO is fed from storage tanks by offsite feed pumps to surge drum on level control. Feed surge drum pressure is maintained by pressure controller working on two control valves on split control. When the pressure reduces fuel gas lines opens, admitting gas into the surge drum and when pressure increase flare line opens setting down pressure to flare, through flare K.O. drum.

    RCO is pumped from surge drum and preheated by heat exchange with vacuum diesel product, LVGO, HVGO & slop product and pumparound, Vacuum Residue and quench in a train of exchangers. HSD product and pumparound exchanger is to be bypassed for preheating RCO during hot feed case.

    After getting preheated in the product & pumparound exchangers RCO mixes with Slop recycle and enters the four parallel passes of vacuum furnace under individual pass flow control. It is partially vaporized by further heating in the vacuum furnace before entering the flash zone of

    the vacuum column. Medium Pressure Steam is introduced into the individual heater passes to maintain requisite velocities and prevent coking due to high coil outlet temperature. The heater can be fired with fuel oil, fuel gas or combination of both. A temperature controller (TC) on combined furnace outlet controls the coil outlet temperatures (COT) to achieve desired vaporization of RCO by regulating fuel oil/ fuel gas flow to the burners. Vacuum Furnace is provided with an Air Preheater, to improve the furnace efficiency along with the FD fans and one ID fan.

    Vacuum Distillation

    In the bottom section of the vacuum column superheated LP steam is fed under flow control which lowers the hydrocarbon partial pressure and increases the vaporization in flash zone. This steam also results in desired stripping of liquid portion of feed below flash zone. Vapourized fraction of the feed and steam vapour rise through the upper section of the column and fractionated into four side products.

    Vacuum column consists of 6 packed beds namely HSD Reflux bed, Internal Reflux bed, LVGO PA bed, HVGO PA bed, and two wash zone beds, 5 chimney trays above the flash zone and 4 stripping trays below the flash zone.

    370 °c (-) diesel (HSD) is obtained as top side draw product from the chimney tray below HSD reflux bed. Top reflux and HSD internal reflux are drawn at the same point. HSD IR is sent under flow control to internal reflux bed. HSD product and pumparound exchanges heat with RCO in exchanger and is further cooled by circulating cooling water. Part of the stream is returned to the top of the column under flow control as reflux and the balance is sent to HSD or LOO tanks under level control of draw off chimney tray.

    HSD product and pumparound drawn from the top side draw bypasses the RCO preheat exchanger during hot feed case. HSD product & pumparound rejects heat to circulating cooling water in exchanger alone during hot feed case. Gas oil internal reflux is drawn from chimney tray below internal reflux bed and pumped under tray level control to LVGO section.

    Light Vacuum Gas Oil (LVGO) is obtained as second side draw product below the LVGO PA bed along with the LVGO pumparound and internal reflux streams. VGO IR is sent to HVGO section under flow control. The LVGO product and pump around exchanges heat with the RCO. LVGO pumparound is refluxed back to the column under flow control. LVGO product is further cooled in an Air fin cooler and a cooling water cooler and is sent to FCC feed storage under LVGO draw-off tray level control. A provision is kept to route hot LVGO from upstream of cooling water cooler to FCC unit along with Heavy Vacuum Gas oil.

    Heavy vacuum Gas oil (HVGO) is obtained as 3rd side draw product below the HVGO PA bed along with HVGO CR and IR. HVGO IR is sent under flow control to wash section. Primarily HVGO product and CR exchange heat with RCO. HVGO CR is returned back to the column under flow control. HVGO product after exchanging heat with RCO, is used to generate MP & LP-steam. It is cooled further in the air fin cooler and Tempered water cooler arranged in parallel before being sent to FCC unit or FCC feed storage tanks under HVGO draw off tray

    level control along with LVGO. A provision is kept to route hot HVGO to FCC.

    Slop distillate is drawn as the fourth side draw product below the wash zone beds into Slop Drum along with slop pumparound and recycle streams. Slop recycle under flow control, is mixed with RCO at the entry of the vacuum furnace. The slop distillate and pumparound exchange heat with RCO. Slop pump around stream is returned back under flow control to the column above the wash zone bed. Slop distillate mixes with vacuum residue downstream is used to generate M.P. steam and LP steam in heat exchangers. It is cooled further in BFW preheater and tempered water cooler before finally being sent to storage.

    Alternatively slop distillate can be cooled separately in heat exchanger by circulating tempered water and routed to VBU Feed/LSHS/Slop storage tanks.

    Vacuum Residue (VR) is drawn at the bottom of the column along with quench. Vacuum residue along with quench stream exchanges heat with RCO and is then used to generate MP steam. Quench is returned to the bottom of the column under flow control. The balance vacuum residue stream drawn under column bottom level control then mixes with slop distillate and the combined stream generate MP steam & LP steam before being cooled in BFW preheat exchanger and Tempered water cooler.

    Vacuum overhead System

    A multi stage ejector system with inter and after condenser, are provided to obtain the desired vacuum. The non condensables, cracked gases, inerts steam and a small amount of oil which might get carried over constitute the overhead vapors from vacuum column. The steam and oil are condensed in overhead condensers and collected in the Vacuum Condensate Drum. The oil is pumped intermittently to the slop oil coalescer by Slop oil pump which operates automatically with high and low level switches and is sent to HSD/Slop Header. The sour water is pumped continuously under level control and is routed to the sour water stripper system. The non-condensable are sent to vacuum furnace LP burners via Hot well catch pot. An inert recycle from 2nd stage condenser is provided to control the column overhead pressure.

    The ejector motive steam may be adjusted by a pressure controller while the ejector elements, sized for 1/7th, 2/7th and 4/7th of total feed may be taken on line in different combination to achieve the desired vacuum.

    Neutralization facilities are provided to combat the stress corrosion cracking of Austentic stainless steel due to chloride and polythionic attack to heater tubes and transfer lines upto the last bend near the column, which are of solid SS-316 L material. Pure nitrogen is used to prevent the ingress of air into the system while it contains moisture, which forms polythionic acid on the surface when the system is cooled during shutdown or decoking of heater passes. Subsequently soda ash solution is passed through the system to neutralize any polythionic acid formed on the surface during shut down. Neutralization for the vacuum column, slop drums are optional as these are of material CS with SS316 L cladding and any cracks on the clad material tend to follow the clad interface rather than propagate into the pressure retaining backing.

    Decoking facility for vacuum heater is provided during shutdown. Decoking pot had been designed for decoking one pass at a time. When one pass is being decoked, cooling steam is sent through the remaining passes.

    2.3 SR LPG Treater

    A new SR LPGTU of 65 KTPA is envisaged as part of Lupech project. SR LPGTU process converts mercaptans present in feed to H2S and removes it in Amine treatment and caustic treatment sections. LPGTU process sections are discussed below

    Feed receiving section

    It primarily consists of Feed filter, Feed Coalescer & feed surge drum. The feed is sent to filter to remove the debris or foreign particles. Filter outlet sent to feed coalescer to remove any entrained water in the feed and after that it sent to feed surge drum. It acts as just storage vessel. Sour water that gets collected in boot sent to CBD (Closed blow down).

    Feed preheat section

    In this section feed from surge drum sent to different heat exchangers to increase the feed temperature by utilising the heat of reactor effluent. In this sequence feed from surge drum is first sent to feed/reactor effluent heat exchanger via feed pump. Feed enters to shell side of exchanger and reactor effluent to tube side of exchanger and feed temperature increases from 40oC to 109oC. Exchanger outlet then mixes with hydrogen stream and mixed stream enters to tube side of HP steam heater. Hydrogen flow is controlled by feed flow. HP steam enters to shell side of HP steam heater and condensate sent to HP condensate drum, from where it goes to HP condensate header. Tube side outlet sent to reactor at 200oC. Reactor inlet temperature is controlled by HP steam flow. Electric heater is used only during startup and sulfiding process so HP steam heater outlet bypasses the electric heater and directly enters to the reactor. Main purpose of reactor is to convert mercaptans present in feed to hydrogen sulphide H2S at 200oC (SOR) and 27 kg/cm2g. Hydro treating reacting reaction slightly exothermic which increases temperature by 2oC only.

  • PRE-FEASIBILITY REPORT

    This section consists different exchangers like feed/reactor effluent heat exchanger, air fin cooler and cooling water exchanger. Reactor outlet sent to heat exchanger where it cools down up to 130oC and sent to air fin cooler to bring temperature down up to 65oC and finally sent to cooling water exchanger where temperature brought down to 40oC. Cooling water exchanger outlet sent to 3 phase HP separator from where sour water sent to CBD and liquid feed sent to Amine absorption column.

    Amine treatment section

    The feed is sent to the amine absorber where it is MDEA solution (28% concentration) fed to the top of column via amine booster pump. Lean amine flows in ratio control with column feed, it absorbs H2S present in feed and leaves column bottom as rich amine. Rich amine from column bottom sent to amine break vessel, to remove any entrapped hydrocarbon to sour flare and remaining rich amine sent to ARU (amine regeneration unit) for regeneration. Treated amine leaves the column as column overhead carrying some of lean amine and fed to sweet LPG coalescer to remove carried over amine from treated LPG. In this process column overhead mixes with DM water via DM water pump in static mixer and sent to sweet LPG coalescer, where water carrying amine sent to Amine blow down (ABD) on requirement basis and DM water circulation maintained.

    Caustic treatment & product distribution section

    The treated LPG from sweet LPG coalescer is sent to static mixer where it mixes with caustic (20% concentration) via caustic circulation pump. Mixed stream sent to the caustic vessel to remove H2S further from treated LPG. Lean amine flows in ratio control with column feed, it absorbs H2S present in feed and leaves column bottom as rich amine. Rich amine from column bottom sent to amine break vessel to remove any entrapped hydrocarbon to sour flare and remaining rich amine sent to ARU (amine regeneration unit) for regeneration. Treated amine leaves the column as column overhead carrying some of lean amine and fed to sweet LPG coalescer to remove carried over amine from treated LPG. In this process column overhead mixes with DM water via DM water pump in static mixer and sent to sweet LPG coalescer, where water carrying amine sent to Amine blow down (ABD) on requirement basis and DM water circulation maintained.

    2.5 PRU

    The objective of the Propylene Recovery Unit (PRU) is to recover the Propylene from LPG and supply downstream users with polymer-grade propylene for petrochemical applications.

    To meet polymer-grade specifications, the stream should be concentrated to 99.5 % propylene and be essentially free of all relevant contaminants / impurities.

    With Propylene Recovery Configuration, feed would first be de-butanized then de- ethanized. Thereaft
