Honeywell will provide new Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) units to IOCL refineries at Gujarat, Panipat, and Mathura, and will upgrade existing hydrogen plants at refineries in Haldia, Guwahati and Gujarat

New Delhi; July 30, 2018

Indian Oil Corporation Ltd (IOCL) has selected Honeywell UOP’s Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) technology to supply high-quality hydrogen at five of its refineries. Hydrogen is essential to the refining process, where it is used to decontaminate oil and facilitate catalytic processes that produce clean-burning fuels, including those that meet the Indian government’s strict Bharat Stage VI (BS VI) environmental standards.

Under the terms of the agreement, Honeywell UOP will provide new PSA units to IOCL refineries at Gujarat, Panipat, and Mathura, and will upgrade existing hydrogen plants with UOP’s Polybed PSA technology at refineries in Haldia, Guwahati and Gujarat. Together, the six projects will generate 166,000 tonnes per year of new hydrogen capacity, representing an almost 30 per cent increase for IOCL.

“Honeywell UOP’s hydrogen technology is part of IOCL’s efforts to produce BS VI fuels before the end of 2019. This is a project of national importance to help India reduce pollution and improve its quality of life,” said Mike Banach, regional general manager for Honeywell UOP India.

IOCL chose Honeywell UOP technology due to its performance, superior economics and ability to meet an aggressive delivery schedule driven by India’s BS VI emissions standards. UOP PSA technology features new UOP adsorbents that recover high levels of hydrogen. The project includes a substantial amount of Indian-made components and domestic fabrication, in line with the government’s Make in India program.

When the project is completed, the additional hydrogen produced each year will have a value to IOCL of about $ 400 million.

Banach explained, “Hydrogen is as essential to refining as oil, and it’s generated on-purpose and as a byproduct of refining processes. The PSA technology recovers and purifies this hydrogen so it can be used elsewhere in the refinery to remove impurities and to perform catalytic processes that transform crude oil into clean fuels and other products.”

Indian Oil Corporation Ltd, together with its subsidiaries, has interests across the entire hydrocarbon value-chain, including refining, pipeline transportation, marketing of petroleum products, exploration and production of crude oil, natural gas, and petrochemicals.

Honeywell UOP is a leading international supplier and licensor of process technology, catalysts, adsorbents, equipment, and consulting services to the petroleum refining, petrochemical, and gas processing industries. Honeywell UOP is part of Honeywell’s Performance Materials and Technologies strategic business group, which also includes Honeywell Process Solutions - a pioneer in automation control, instrumentation and services for the oil and gas, refining, petrochemical, chemical and other industries.
