viii) Energy Optimization Studies conducted for enhanced crude pre-heat heat recovery through pinch analysis<br />

resulted in reduced fuel consumption in MR. Simulation studies of Naphtha Splitter Unit of NRL for<br />

producing suitable quality of Naphtha enabled NRL in taking sound Capex decisions for the upcoming<br />

Naphtha cracker.<br />

ix) (a) Implementation of selected antifoulant with optimal dosage in MR crude-preheat trains resulted in<br />

improved heat recovery.<br />

(b) Implementation of selected demulsifier in MR CDU Units resulted in improved desalting and reduced<br />

overhead corrosion.<br />

(c) Studies on Mumbai-Manmad-Bijwasan (MMB) pipeline corrosion resulted in developing an in-house<br />

monitoring system for reducing the corrosion.<br />

x) Advanced Tech support to Refinery and Marketing operations for resolving technical problems/effecting<br />

improvements, such as :<br />

(a) Tech support for producing modified bitumen products, viz., CRMB, for launching VG grade bitumen.<br />

(b) Commercial trial has been taken of the in-house developed technology for polypacked bitumen.<br />

xi) Identified potential sustainable lignocellulosic feedstock for bio-ethanol production. Optimized the process<br />

parameters for the maximization of fermentable sugars at lab scale.<br />

xii) Long life Diesel Engine Oil for heavy commercial vehicles – extends the drain period of Engine Oil for the<br />

latest high performance vehicles besides increasing our share in this segment.<br />

xiii) Passenger Car Engine Oil for the latest models – provides an opportunity to increase our market share in this<br />

segment.<br />

xiv) Bio-degradable Cutting Oil – protects the environment, besides providing a viable option to customers.<br />

xv) High Performance Grease – helps us to increase our market share in the Steel manufacturing segment,<br />

besides providing a viable alternative to customers.<br />

xvi) Defence specific grades – provide an indigenous alternative to Defence.<br />

xvii) Alternate formulation for existing grades – helps in reducing the input cost, besides providing flexibility in<br />

operation.<br />

3) Future Plan of Action<br />

i) Development of process scheme for the production of bio-ethanol and bio-lubricants<br />

ii) Development of catalyst/additive for refining processes<br />

iii) Development of new process technologies using the additive approach for improving product quality<br />

iv) Intensifying and enlargement of activities in the area of Refinery processes and resid upgradation.<br />

v) Enlargement of crude basket and identification of opportunity crudes and crude blends<br />

vi) Controlling Corrosion and fouling in Refinery units<br />

vii) Value added Products/Solvents from the Refinery streams<br />

viii) Bio-technological processes<br />

ix) Modelling and simulation of Refinery processes<br />

x) Coal to Resid Technologies<br />

xi) Alternate Fuels & Energy Devices<br />

Developing the following grades / products :<br />

i) Diesel Engine Oil meeting the latest international specifications<br />

ii) Transmission Oil OEM specific<br />

iii) Metal Working Fluid<br />

iv) Synthetic Gear Oil<br />

v) Synthetic Refrigeration Compressor Oil<br />

vi) Defence specific grades<br />
