ARTICLE I – PLANT ELEMENTS

1.0 WHAT CONSTITUTES THE PLANT The naphtha cracker project for Indian Oil Corporation Ltd. located in Panipat, India consists of ISBL Process units and supporting facility designed to produce polymer grade ethylene, polymer grade propylene, 1,3 Butadiene, benzene, C7-C8 cut, partially hydrogenated C9+ stream and pyrolysis fuel oil. The plant consists of the following process units:

• Naphtha Cracker Unit (NCU) NCU uses naphtha as feedstock to produce polymer grade ethylene, polymer grade propylene, raw C4 mix, raw pyrolysis gasoline and pyrolysis fuel oil. Ethane, propane, hydrogenated C4s, C5s and C6 are recycled to extinction. Recycles from polymer plants, ethylene BOG from atmospheric storage and the FCC streams are the additional feeds to the NCU recovery unit.

• Butadiene Extraction Unit (BEU) BDEU recovers 1,3 Butadiene from the raw mixed C4s stream produced in the NCU. BD raffinate is sent to the C4 hydrogenation unit.

• C4 Hydrogenation Unit C4 hydro is designed to fully hydrogenate the BD raffinate in normal operation. Hydrogenated C4s are recycled to the NCU cracking heaters. In alternate operation, when BEU is not operating, C4 hydrogenation unit will process raw C4 mix. Butadiene and a portion of the butenes are hydrogenated in this mode of operation.

• Pyrolysis Gasoline Hydrogenation Unit (PGHU) PGHU processes raw pyrolysis gasoline from naphtha cracker in a two-stage hydrotreating unit to produce a C6-C8 heart cut that is sent to the Benzene Extraction Unit for benzene recovery, a fully hydrogenated C5 cut that is recycled to the cracking heaters and a partially hydrogenated C9+ product.

• Benzene Extraction Unit (BZEU) BEU recovers benzene from the C6-C8 heart cut. Non-aromatic C6 stream is recycled to the NCU cracking heaters and C7-C8 cut is sent as product to storage.

Block diagram of the process units is presented in Figure 1.1.

Cracking Heaters Feed System Naphtha feed is received from storage tanks outside battery limits at pressure and ambient temperature. The naphtha is filtered and mixed with hydrogenated C4, C5 and C6 recycle streams and then preheated against quench water to 60°C prior to being sent to the SRT VI liquid cracking heaters. Sulfur injection (DMDS) is provided into the naphtha/C4/C5/C6 feed upstream of the preheater. DMDS injection in liquid feed is done only when sulfur content in naphtha feed is low.

IOCL Section 1 – Process Specification.doc Page 9 February, 2005

Recycle ethane, after vaporization against charge gas and reheat in the cold box is mixed with vaporized propane recycle. The combined ethane/propane stream is superheated with quench water to 60°C before being sent to the recycle cracking heater. DMDS injection into the ethane/propane recycle is provided downstream of the superheater. Raw C4 mix or BD raffinate is co-cracked with naphtha/ C4/C5/C6 during regeneration of C4 hydro reactor catalyst Pyrolysis Module Six SRT VI and one SRT III type cracking heaters are provided. Five SRT VI heaters are normally in service cracking liquid feedstock (naphtha/C4/C5/C6). One SRT VI heater is available as a spare to provide operating continuity during decoke operations.

The SRT III heater is in operation cracking ethane/propane recycle. When recycle heater is being decoked, ethane/propane recycle is cracked in one of the two liquid cracking heaters (11-H-0200/11-H-0300).

All the SRT VI and SRT III heaters operate using fuel gas only. The primary fuel gas is methane rich offgas produced in the naphtha cracker unit. Make-up/ back-up fuel is C3/C4 LPG supplied from adjacent refinery or RLNG vapor. As the primary fuel gas is not sufficient to fully meet the heater firing demand, the small shortfall is met by make-up LPG fuel. Combustion air for all the heaters is 100% ambient air. Each heater is equipped with an ID fan for directing the flue gas to the heater stack. All heaters are designed for steam/air decoking of the radiant coil with the decoking effluent being sent directly to the heater firebox for combustion.

For the SRT VI liquid heaters, the liquid feedstock is flow controlled to six sets of radiant coils per liquid cracking heater. The liquid feed is first heated in the feed preheat section of the heater, with the liquid feed being partially vaporized prior to steam injection. The dilution steam injection is added to each coil on flow ratio control. Dilution steam is first superheated in the dilution steam superheat section of the heater which is located below the lower feed preheat section prior to injection into the partially vaporized feed. The total mix is further heated in the heater’s mixed preheat section before entering the radiant coils.

For ethane/propane recycle processing when 11-H-0100 is out of service, the preheated ethane/propane vapor feed is flow controlled to the six sets of radiant coils using an alternate feed control valve set and the dilution steam is added to each coil on flow ratio control. The total feed enters at the inlet of the upper mixed feed preheat section.

The crossover pipe from each convection section coil feeds a single radiant coil manifold at the top of the radiant section. Each radiant coil consists of a 20-4 inlet-outlet pass configuration (i.e., five 4-1s). The flow from one radiant coil inlet manifold is distributed to 20 inlet tubes of the first pass using critical flow venturis. The flow is combined to the 4 tubes of the outlet pass. The 4 outlet radiant tubes enter the primary TLE inlet head (bathtub type). There are six TLEs per heater. The effluent from the liquid cracking heaters primary TLEs are combined in two transfer lines.

For the SRT III gas cracking heater, ethane/propane feed is first heated in the feed preheat section and then mixed with dilution steam on flow ratio control prior to entering the secondary TLE (shell-side) where the preheated mix feed is further preheated against heater effluent. The mixture is then split on flow control to the six preheat coils, where it is further heated in the convection section before entering the radiant section. The crossover pipe for each convection coil feeds a single radiant inlet manifold at the inlet to the radiant section.

The recycle heater radiant coil is a six-pass design employing 4-2-1-1-1-1 inlet-outlet pass configuration. Four (4) parallel tubes, which split from the radiant coil inlet manifold comprise the first pass. These tubes join in pairs via a wye piece to two (2) parallel tubes, which are the second pass of the coil. The two second-pass tubes are joined via another wye piece to the third pass. A single tube is used for the third, fourth, fifth and sixth passes.

The effluent from the ethane recycle heater radiant coils is combined in pairs and sent to primary TLEs, three per cracking heater. The effluent from the primary TLEs are further combined and sent to a single secondary TLE which cools the effluent to 255°C. The heat exchanged in the secondary TLE is used to preheat the mixed hydrocarbon feed after partial heating of the hydrocarbon in the convection section and after injection of dilution steam.

For the SRT III gas cracking heaters and the SRT VI liquid cracking heaters, the heater firing is controlled to maintain the average COT of all the coils and the flow to each coil is adjusted to maintain a constant delta between the coil COT and the average COT.

The primary TLEs generate steam at 128.5 kg/cm²g via a thermosyphon system connected to a common steam drum for each heater. The boiler feed water to the steam drum is preheated in the convection section of the cracking heater. The steam generated is superheated to about 525°C in a superheater coil integrated with the convection section of the heater. To control the superheater outlet temperature, the coil design allows for phosphate free boiler feed water injection to the partially superheated steam. After the BFW injection, the steam is returned to the convection section for final superheating to the desired temperature.

The effluent from the liquid feed heaters is oil quenched in two quench fittings. The effluent from the recycle heater is not oil quenched, but is cooled via the secondary TLE. After the secondary TLE, the recycle heater is split with a portion sent to the quench tower and the remainder going to the midsection of the pyrolysis feed oil stripper where it is utilized as stripping vapor to maintain and control the viscosity of the circulating quench oil.

Gasoline Fractionation and Charge Gas Quenching In the Gasoline Fractionator, the cracked effluent gases are further cooled, pyrolysis fuel oil (PFO) is separated as a bottoms product, a side stream product-pyrolysis gas oil (PGO) is withdrawn from the Fractionator, gasoline and lighter materials are taken as an overhead vapor. Heat removed by circulating quench oil from the tower bottom is recovered via dilution steam generation and process water preheat going to the dilution steam drum. The tower is refluxed with gasoline condensed in the Quench Tower.

The bottom pyrolysis fuel oil from the Gasoline Fractionator is sent to the Pyrolysis Fuel Oil Stripper. This tower has two stripping sections, the top section where most of the components boiling between 280°C and 370°C are stripped out using part of the ethane recycle heater effluent and the bottom section where PFO from the top section of the Pyrolysis Fuel Oil Stripper is steam stabilized to achieve a fuel oil product of acceptable flash point. Pyrolysis fuel oil product is mixed with heavy C9+ cut from the return tower of the Pyrolysis Gasoline Hydrogenation unit and is cooled to 90°C prior to being sent to OSBL storage. A side stream product withdrawn from the Fractionator is sent to the PGO Stripper where it is steam stabilized using superheated LP steam injection from the steam system. A portion of the stabilized PGO is filtered and used as purge oil for instruments, the rest is blended with fuel oil and cooled before being sent to OSBL storage.

The TLE effluent quenching and pyrolysis fuel oil stripping is accomplished in such a fashion as to reduce the viscosity of the circulating quench oil stream. The composition of the quench oil is changed by increasing the concentration of relatively lighter components. This is accomplished by stripping the quench oil entering the Pyrolysis Fuel Oil Stripper with part of the recycle heater effluent. A relatively high percentage of components boiling between 280°C and 370°C are stripped out. As a result, these components do not readily leave the system with the stripped pyrolysis fuel oil and, therefore, concentrate in the circulating quench oil. The concentration of this mid-boiling range material will maintain quench oil viscosity to within the desired limits. Filtering of the quench oil leaving the gasoline fractionator, the gasoline fractionator bottoms pump discharge and the PFO stripper feed and product are provided to prevent the buildup of coke fines and allow continuity of operation between plant turnarounds. The level of filtering varies from using strainers at the

Page 13: Iocl Section 1 - Process Specfication

INDIAN OIL CORPORATION LIMITED

IOCL Section 1 – Process Specification.doc Page 12 February, 2005

gasoline fractionator bottoms and cartridge filters on the quench oil pump discharge, cartridge/basket type for PFO stripper feed and basket type on the PFO stripper product suction filters.

Overhead vapor from the Gasoline Fractionator is cooled and partially condensed by direct countercurrent contact with recirculating water in the Quench Tower. The hot recirculating water from the Quench Tower supplies low level heat to various process users, namely the Naphtha Feed Preheater, Recycle Ethane/Propane Preheater, Charge Gas Heater, Deethanizer Reboiler, MAPD Converter Feed Preheater, Propylene Fractionator Reboilers and Recycle Propane Vaporizer. Quench water is also used to cool the PGO/PFO product to 90°C in the PGO/PFO Product Cooler. The quench water is cooled further by cooling water. The overhead vapor from the Quench Tower is sent to the Charge Gas Compressor. The gasoline condensed in the Quench Tower is separated from the condensed dilution steam in the Quench Water Settler. A part of the condensed hydrocarbons is returned as reflux to the Gasoline Fractionator. The net gasoline is sent to the Gasoline Stripper. Process Water Stripping and Dilution Steam Generation

The dilution steam condensed in the quench tower is sent to the process water stripper, where it is stripped with live dilution steam and LP steam to the bottom of the tower, to remove acid gases and volatile hydrocarbons. The vapor leaving the process water stripper is sent to the quench tower.

The process water from the PW Stripper is preheated by quench oil prior to entering the dilution steam drum where it is then vaporized against circulating quench oil and medium pressure steam in the dilution steam generators. The steam generated is superheated against medium pressure steam before reuse as dilution steam in the cracking heaters, stripping steam to the process water stripper and as purge steam to the heaters.

Provisions for dilute caustic injection to dilution steam drum feed, process water stripper feed and quench tower bottoms are provided for pH control.

To prevent a build-up of non-volatiles, a blowdown stream from the dilution steam drum is drawn, cooled to 40°C against cooling water and sent to OSBL waste treatment facility. Charge Gas Compression, Gasoline and Condensate Stripping

The quench tower overhead vapors are compressed from 0.47 to 38.67 kc/cm2g in a five-stage centrifugal compressor with interstage cooling to about 40°C. Recycle streams from downstream swing PE plant, HDPE plant and PP plant

Page 14: Iocl Section 1 - Process Specfication

INDIAN OIL CORPORATION LIMITED

IOCL Section 1 – Process Specification.doc Page 13 February, 2005

and off spec ethylene vapors from HP ethylene storage as well as internal recycle streams of the naphtha cracker are also reprocessed in the Charge Gas Compressor system. The charge gas compressor design shall incorporate dry mechanical seals.

Between the third and fourth stages, the charge gas is treated by caustic wash to remove acid gases generated in the cracking heaters. Spent caustic from the caustic/water wash tower is washed with gasoline and sent to OSBL spent caustic treatment facility.

The condensate from the third stage discharge drum is recycled to the third stage suction drum; the condensate from the third stage suction drum is recycled back to the second stage suction drum where hydrocarbon and water separation takes place. Water condensed in the second stage suction drum is recycled to the first stage suction drum and then pumped to the quench tower. Hydrocarbon condensed in the second stage suction drum is sent to the gasoline stripper which operates just above the 1st stage suction drum pressure. In this tower, the hydrocarbon liquid is stripped of butane and light material by vapor generated from the steam heated reboilers. A portion of the bottom liquid is used as wash gasoline in the spent caustic pretreatment section. The net bottoms is combined with the debutanizer bottoms, cooled and sent to the Pyrolysis Gasoline Hydrogenation unit or OSBL storage. The overhead vapor is recycled back to the quench tower. Provisions are available to send a portion of the bottom liquid to the bottom of the quench tower to maintain adequate hydrocarbon inventory for the gasoline fractionator reflux. The 5th stage discharge, after water cooling is sent to the 5th stage discharge drum. The vapor is cooled further by reheating lower deethanizer feed and then by two levels of propylene refrigerant to 15.6°C. The partially condensed liquid/vapor mixture flows to the dryer feed drum. Hydrocarbon and water is separated in the dryer feed drum. The hydrocarbon is pumped to the 5th stage discharge drum, and the water is sent to the 5th stage suction drum. Condensed hydrocarbon and water from the 5th stage discharge drum is sent to the 5th stage suction drum, where hydrocarbon and water separation takes place. Water from the 5th stage suction drum is sent to the 4th stage suction drum. Hydrocarbon from the 5th stage suction drum is sent to the condensate stripper. The condensate stripper operates just above the 4th stage suction drum pressure. In the condensate stripper, the hydrocarbon is stripped of ethane and lighter materials by the vapor generated by a steam heated reboiler. The overhead vapor is recycled to the fourth stage suction drum. Water and hydrocarbon condensed in the fourth stage suction drum is recycled to the quench tower. The stripper bottoms is cooled against cooling water and sent to the condensate stripper bottoms filter/coalescer. The purpose of the

Page 15: Iocl Section 1 - Process Specfication

INDIAN OIL CORPORATION LIMITED

IOCL Section 1 – Process Specification.doc Page 14 February, 2005

coalescer/filter package is to remove free water from the stripper bottoms before being sent to the dryers. Condensate stripper bottoms, after passing through the coalescer is dried in a liquid-phase two-dryer molecular sieve drying system. One dryer is operating while the other is being regenerated in a cyclic operation. The dried stripper bottoms is sent to the depropanizer. Any water collected in the condensate stripper is withdrawn from an intermediate tray and recycled back to the 3rd stage suction drum.

The Charge Gas Compressor fouling is controlled by injecting wash oil into the suction of each compressor stage. Common boiler feed water and wash oil injection nozzles are provided for all wheels as an option for the future. The source of wash oil can be light cycle oil or partially hydrogenated C9+ stream from the Pyrolysis Gasoline Hydrogenation unit. Acid Gas Removal The 3rd stage discharge drum vapor is preheated to 45°C against quench water prior to entering the caustic/water wash tower. In the caustic/water wash tower the acid gases (H2S and CO2) are removed from the charge gas stream by contacting with caustic solution. 50% caustic is received from OSBL which is diluted to 20% before use in the caustic tower. The tower has two caustic circulating sections in addition to the water wash section. The water wash section has bubble cap trays while the two caustic circulating sections have valve trays. After scrubbing in the two caustic sections, the charge gas essentially free of H2S and CO2 is water washed using blowdown from the steam system in the top water wash section to prevent caustic carryover into the downstream equipment. The majority of the spent wash water is used to dilute the make-up caustic to the upper caustic circulation. The net excess spent wash water is sent to OSBL spent caustic treatment. The charge gas from the overhead of the caustic/water wash tower is returned to the 4th stage suction of the charge gas compressor. The spent caustic blowdown is sent to the spent caustic pretreatment section for removal of free oils via gasoline wash prior to being sent to final OSBL spent caustic treatment.

Any polymeric oil (yellow or red oil) which may accumulate in the tower bottom is recombined with spent caustic stream and sent to the spent caustic/gasoline wash system. The polymeric oil leaves with the spent gasoline from the spent gasoline coalescer and is sent to the quench tower.

Spent Caustic Pre-treatment

The spent caustic solution from the caustic/water wash tower cannot be discharged to the environment without further treatment. The spent caustic solution contains sodium carbonate, sodium sulfide and a small percentage of free (not reacted) sodium hydroxide. In addition, the solution may contain dispersed hydrocarbons. The dispersed hydrocarbons in the spent caustic may

Page 16: Iocl Section 1 - Process Specfication

INDIAN OIL CORPORATION LIMITED

IOCL Section 1 – Process Specification.doc Page 15 February, 2005

cause considerable fouling in the downstream OSBL treating unit and are therefore removed with a gasoline wash.

Spent caustic from the caustic tower is mixed with wash gasoline from the gasoline stripper in the feed line to the spent caustic coalescer. The spent caustic/wash gasoline mixture is first degassed in the coalescer and then is passed through a packed coalescing pad where the oil/caustic separation takes place. The spent gasoline is then mixed with wash water drawn from the dilution steam generator feed pump in the dilution steam system in the feed line prior to entering the spent gasoline coalescer where the gasoline/water mixture is passed through a packed bed for removal of entrained spent caustic. After separation, the spent gasoline is returned to the quench tower. The spent gasoline requires water washing to reduce the quantity of entrained caustic which can cause a pH problem in the quench tower. The gasoline washed spent caustic from the spent caustic coalescer is sent to OSBL for further treatment.

Charge Gas Drying

The charge gas at 15.5°C from the dryer feed drum is dried in a two bed molecular sieve drying system. One bed is on stream while the other bed is being regenerated in a cyclic operation. Methane offgas from the recovery section is heated by high pressure steam and used to regenerate the desiccant. The regeneration gas is cooled and sent to the regeneration gas K.O. drum for removal of water prior to entering the fuel gas system. Any condensed water from the regeneration gas K.O. drum is returned to the quench tower.

Charge Gas Chilling The dry charge gas is progressively chilled against the process (deethanizer feed, ethylene fractionator side reboiler, ethane recycle, demethanizer bottom and side reboilers) and propylene and ethylene refrigeration to –72°C. The condensate is separated in the demethanizer feed separator No. 1 and fed to the demethanizer as two streams (demethanizer feed No. 1 and 2), after heat exchange against itself.

The charge gas from the demethanizer feed Separator No. 1 is chilled against off gases and coldest level of ethylene refrigerant to –97.9°C. The condensate is separated in separator No. 2 and sent to the demethanizer as feed No. 3.

The charge gas from demethanizer feed separator No. 2 is further chilled in the cold box to –131°C by heat exchange with hydrogen and methane offgas and by evaporation of liquid methane. The condensate is separated in demethanizer feed separator No. 3 and sent to the demethanizer as feed No. 4. The coldest feed to the demethanizer is obtained from this drum and the residual gas is hydrogen of approximately 75 mol% purity.

Page 17: Iocl Section 1 - Process Specfication

IOCL Section 1 – Process Specification.doc Page 16 February, 2005

The hydrogen rich stream is further upgraded to 95+ mol% purity in a two stage expansion system. Here, hydrogen purification takes place in an adiabatic heat exchange system in which the refrigeration required is derived from expansion of liquefied methane (Joule-Thompson Expansion). In the first Joule-Thompson Expansion, the 75 mol% purity stream is chilled to -143 °C, condensing a portion of the contained methane and essentially all of the C2s. Refrigeration is provided by expanding the condensed liquid to demethanizer overhead pressure. After reheating, the methane rich stream is blended with the demethanizer overhead, reheated further and sent to the dryer regeneration/fuel gas system as HP methane. In the second Joule-Thompson Expansion, the overhead vapor which is now about 83.5 mol% purity hydrogen is further chilled to -165 °C. The refrigeration for this step is provided by expanding the condensed liquid to fuel gas system pressure. Liquid is expanded, vaporized, reheated and sent to the fuel gas system as LP methane.

The second JT expansion yields approximately 95.7 mol% hydrogen. This hydrogen is reheated in the chilling train and sent to the methanator to meet the carbon monoxide specification. Demethanizer The condensed liquids from the charge gas chilling train along with the vent gas from ethylene fractionation and propylene fractionation, and light gas recycle from PP plant are sent to the appropriate feed locations of the demethanizer. This tower is operated at a pressure just high enough to permit using the overhead methane product for dryer regeneration and still be at fuel gas pressure. Provision for reprocessing off spec ethylene is also provided in the demethanizer. Based on selected technology, there will be no recycle from PP plant to the demethanizer as shown on the process flow diagram.

The demethanizer reboiling is carried out with charge gas in both the bottom and side reboilers. The bottoms product is reheated against ethylene and propylene refrigerant in the cold box, after which it is split into two streams. One stream is sent directly as liquid to the deethanizer as the top feed. The other stream is sent to the deethanizer as the second feed, but after further preheat against charge gas in dryer effluent chiller and 5th stage discharge drum overhead vapor in dryer feed cooler. Reflux to the tower is provided by an open-loop methane refrigeration system which utilizes a motor driven centrifugal compressor. The methane refrigeration is condensed by the lowest level ethylene refrigeration. The system provides liquid methane as reflux to the tower as well as vapor/liquid methane refrigeration for the chilling of the coldest demethanizer feed.

The overhead of the demethanizer is split into two streams, one stream is mixed with reflux drum liquid and sent to the cold box as high pressure (HP) methane refrigerant. The other stream is heated and compressed. The compressor discharge is cooled against cooling water, chilled by demethanizer overhead

Page 18: Iocl Section 1 - Process Specfication

IOCL Section 1 – Process Specification.doc Page 17 February, 2005

vapor and ethylene refrigerant and then it is sent to the reflux drum. The vapor from the reflux drum is mixed with part of the demethanizer overhead going to the cold box as HP methane. Part of the liquid from the reflux drum is sent to the demethanizer as reflux. The remainder reflux drum liquid is mixed with demethanizer overhead as discussed above and sent to cold box as methane refrigerant.

A small portion of the methane refrigerant compressor discharge is sent to OSBL as ballast gas for downstream MEG plant. Methanation and Hydrogen Drying

The methanation section takes raw hydrogen (95 + mol% hydrogen) generated in the hydrogen methane separator No. 2 and prepares it for use in the downstream hydrogenation process. This involves two primary processing steps:

- Methanation is the conversion of the carbon monoxide (CO) in the

hydrogen to methane (CH4) and water. CO is a catalyst poison in the downstream hydrogenation reactions.

- Drying of the hydrogen is required for the hydrogenation reactors as water is a poison to these catalysts.

The hydrogen stream from the cold box is first heat interchanged with effluent from the methanator and then further heated using high pressure steam to the reaction temperature of 288°C. This temperature is required to initiate the reaction. The conversion of the CO is an exothermic reaction, therefore, the methanator temperature should be monitored closely as runaway reactions can result.

Reactor effluent is used to heat the feed and is then cooled against cooling water. The hydrogen stream is further cooled to about 18.6°C by propylene refrigerant. Condensed water is separated in the hydrogen dryer K.O. drum. The hydrogen leaving the drum goes to the hydrogen dryers. Two hydrogen dryers are provided to accommodate the periodic regeneration required. The dry hydrogen is used in the acetylene, MAPD, C4 hydrogenation and pyrolysis gasoline hydrogenation reactors. Excess hydrogen is sent as product to the OSBL refinery hydrogen header. In addition, any shortage of hydrogen will be supplied from the OSBL refinery header via the hydrogen booster compressor package. Deethanization, Acetylene Hydrogenation and Ethylene Fractionation

The demethanizer bottoms product, which is split into two streams as described in the demethanizer section, feeds the deethanizer. The deethanizer reflux is supplied by condensing overhead vapors with –27.0°C propylene refrigerant. The

Page 19: Iocl Section 1 - Process Specfication

INDIAN OIL CORPORATION LIMITED

IOCL Section 1 – Process Specification.doc Page 18 February, 2005

column is reboiled with quench water. A spare reboiler using LP steam is provided to insure continuity of operation.

Deethanizer also processes FCC dry gas C2s and FCC C3 streams received from adjacent refinery. Both these streams require treatment before being sent to the deethanizer as follows:

- The FCC dry gas C2 stream contains significant impurities like H2S, CO,

H2, CO2, N2, oxygen, acetylene which must be removed. The FCC dry gas treatment facility will be provided OSBL to produce a stream suitable for addition to the ethylene plant for hydrocarbon recovery. Provision for supplying C3 wash stream from NCU to the OSBL FCC dry gas treatment facility is kept in the design. The C3 wash stream is drawn from MAPD converter recycle cooler outlet.

- FCC C3 stream is saturated with water and contains impurities like CO2, COS, Mercaptans, H2S, amines, arsine, phosphine, and halogens. which must be removed prior to processing in the deethanizer. The treatment facility for this stream is provided in NCU. The treatment facility is discussed in later sections.

Treated FCC dry gas C2s feed is combined with the 2nd feed to the deethanizer. The treated FCC C3s feed is sent to the deethanizer as the third feed.

Acetylene is removed from the net deethanizer overhead product by selective hydrogenation to ethylene and ethane in a two bed acetylene converter with intercooling. The acetylene converter uses a silver promoted palladium catalyst which greatly reduces the need for CO as a catalyst moderator and the production of C2 green oil. A spare converter with spare intercooler is provided so that the catalyst can be regenerated (with a mixture of superheated steam and air) without interrupting the continuity of operation. Hot hydrogen/nitrogen from the MAPD reduction heater is used for catalyst reduction at initial start-up and after each catalyst regeneration. Provisions have been kept (a bypass flow controller line around the methanator) to allow for CO addition, if needed. Plants typically operate between 5-9 months at selectivity levels above 50% minimum acetylene to ethylene.

The net deethanizer overhead is preheated against the converter effluent, mixed with the required hydrogen and further heated by low pressure steam, and passed over the first catalyst bed. The temperature rise is proportional to the percentage of hydrogen added to the feed. A safety monitor is provided to shut off the hydrogen in the event that the reactor temperature becomes excessive. The effluent from the first catalyst bed is mixed with more hydrogen, cooled by cooling water, and then passed over the second catalyst bed for further acetylene conversion. The effluent from the second bed, containing less than 1

Page 20: Iocl Section 1 - Process Specfication

INDIAN OIL CORPORATION LIMITED

IOCL Section 1 – Process Specification.doc Page 19 February, 2005

ppm of acetylene relative to ethylene, is cooled by cooling water and by heat exchange with the converter feed.

During hydrogenation, a small portion of the acetylene is converted to a polymer called green oil. This material interferes with the proper drying of the ethylene fractionator feed which is essential to avoid icing problems. This green oil is removed by contacting the converter effluent with a slip stream of ethylene/ethane stream taken as a side draw from the ethylene fractionator. This ethylene/ethane stream is mixed with the converter effluent in a static mixer prior to entering the C2 green oil K.O. drum. The C2 green oil K.O. drum bottoms liquid, containing the green oil, is recycled back to the deethanizer. The contained green oil leaves with the deethanizer bottoms to the depropanizers and ends up in the raw pyrolysis gasoline. The overhead vapor from the C2 green oil K.O. drum passes to the ethylene fractionator via the ethylene dryer. The ethylene dryer consists of a single molecular sieve bed. The desiccant is regenerated using hot methane offgas from the dryer regeneration system.

The ethylene fractionator has one bottom reboiler and two side reboilers permitting the maximum cold recuperation from this tower. One side reboiler is used to chill charge gas and the other is used to condense ethylene refrigeration compressor discharge. The main reboiler supply heat to the tower by condensing –6.7°C propylene refrigerant vapor. The reflux for the tower is condensed with –40.3°C propylene refrigerant. A pasteurization section on top of the ethylene fractionator is used to remove the residual methane and hydrogen from the ethylene product. Vent gas from the reflux drum is recycled back to the demethanizer after passing through the vent condenser which uses –63°C ethylene refrigerant to minimize the vent recycle rate.

The ethylene product is withdrawn as a side draw from the tower and sent to the ethylene product surge drum along with excess ethylene liquid from the ethylene refrigerant accumulator corresponding to ethylene boil-off gas. Liquid ethylene product drawn from the tower is also used as makeup for the ethylene refrigeration system. From the surge drum, the ethylene product is handled as follows:

- One stream is chilled against –63°C, -75.0°C and –101.0°C ethylene

refrigeration in succession to –98°C and delivered to low pressure OSBL cryogenic storage. In normal operation, 1200 kg/h of ethylene consistent with ethylene boil-off gas rate is sent to low pressure cryogenic storage in normal operation. Provision is kept to send up to 30,000 kg/h ethylene to this storage.

- The second steam is pumped, heated, vaporized and superheated against liquid propylene and delivered as MP ethylene vapor product at 28.0 kg/cm2g and 30°C.

Page 21: Iocl Section 1 - Process Specfication

INDIAN OIL CORPORATION LIMITED

IOCL Section 1 – Process Specification.doc Page 20 February, 2005

- The third stream is pumped, heated, vaporized and superheated against liquid propylene and delivered as HP ethylene vapor product at 52.0 kg/cm2g and 30°C.

In normal operation, liquid ethylene up to 10 t/h (10%) is recycled from atmospheric storage to keep storage pumping system active. Ethane is withdrawn from the ethylene fractionator bottom, vaporized against charge gas and after further reheating against propylene refrigerant in the cold box and is sent to the recycle cracking heaters or to the fuel gas system in the event cracking heaters are unavailable.

Provisions are made for polymerization inhibitor injection into the condensate stripper, reboilers, condensate stripper bottoms, C2 green oil bottoms feed to deethanizer, deethanizer reboilers, depropanizer feed from deethanizer and depropanizer reboilers. Depropanization

The purpose of the depropanizer is to make a sharp separation between C3 components and the C4 and heavier components in the deethanizer bottoms and condensate stripper bottoms.

Deethanizer bottoms, condensate stripper bottoms and a C3 green oil recycle stream from the propane recycle drum are the feed to the depropanizer. The tower overhead is condensed against -6.0°C propylene refrigerant. Part of the distillate is used as reflux and net product and is pumped to the MAPD converter system. The tower is reboiled by low pressure steam. The bottom product containing C4s and heavier material is sent to the debutanizer.

MAPD Hydrogenation

In this section methyl acetylene (MA) and propadiene (PD) contained in the depropanizer overhead are removed by selective hydrogenation to propylene and propane in a single-bed reactor.

The net overhead stream from the depropanizer is pumped to the MAPD converter. The MAPD reactor utilizes the Süd-Chemie G-68HX hydrogenation catalyst. This catalyst achieves a selectivity to propylene of about 50% for an outlet MAPD concentration of 200 mol. ppm (30% selectivity used for design). The MAPD converter system consists of two reactors; one operating, and one spare. As a result, the reactor can be regenerated while the plant is on-stream.

The C3 feed stream is mixed with recycle liquid from the MAPD Converter Effluent Separator and the hydrogen from the methanator section and passed through the converter. The MAPD hydrogenation is an exothermic reaction and

Page 22: Iocl Section 1 - Process Specfication

INDIAN OIL CORPORATION LIMITED

IOCL Section 1 – Process Specification.doc Page 21 February, 2005

the heat of reaction is removed by vaporizing a portion of the feed with only a moderate temperature rise. The fresh feed is diluted with liquid recycle to limit vaporization, improve the overall selectivity and minimize green oil formation.

Liquid leaving the reactor flows to the MAPD Converter Effluent Separator. Vapor leaving the reactor is cooled in a water-cooled vent condenser. Liquid from the vent condenser is returned to the separator drum. Vapor leaving the vent condenser is returned to charge gas compressor to recover H2, CH4 and C3 hydrocarbons. Liquid recycle leaving the drum is pumped, cooled and returned to the reactor inlet for diluting the fresh feed. Converter feed heater is provided for achieving end of run feed temperature during reduced catalyst activity. The net C3 product from the separator drum is combined with C3 recycle from PP plant and sent to the Propylene Fractionator No 2. Based on selected technology, there will be no recycle from the PP plant to the propylene fractionator.

During hydrogenation, a small amount of the MAPD is converted to a polymer called C3 green oil. Contained green oil in the reactor effluent gets recycled from the propane recycle drum to the depropanizer which eventually ends up in the gasoline product.

Propylene Fractionator

The propylene fractionator uses a two-tower system to separate the feed into a distillate product of polymer grade propylene and a bottom product containing primarily propane. The tower operates at a pressure which permits total condensation of propylene fractionator No. 2 overhead against cooling water. Reboiler heat to the towers is supplied by circulating quench water.

The polymer grade propylene product is withdrawn as a sidedraw from tower no. 2. The product is pumped, cooled to 38°C and delivered to OSBL downstream plants. Provision for diverting off spec propylene to OSBL HP storage is also kept. A portion of the sidedraw product can be chilled at fractionator pressure against -27°C and -40.3°C propylene refrigerant and -63°C ethylene refrigerant in succession and delivered to low pressure OSBL cryogenic storage at -45oC.

The propane-rich bottoms product is withdrawn as bottoms product from propylene fractionator No. 1 and sent to the propane recycle drum which is equipped with a thermosyphon reboiler using quench water as the heating medium. The recycle propane is vaporized and mixed with ethane recycle and sent to the recycle cracking heater. A small liquid stream is withdrawn from the propane recycle drum (to remove the green oil formed in the MAPD converter) and returned to the depropanizer.

A pasteurization section on top of the propylene fractionator is used to remove the residual methane and hydrogen from the propylene product. Vapor from the

Page 23: Iocl Section 1 - Process Specfication

INDIAN OIL CORPORATION LIMITED

IOCL Section 1 – Process Specification.doc Page 22 February, 2005

reflux drum is cooled in the vent condenser against 15.6°C propylene refrigerant to minimize propylene carryover. Vent gas from the vent condenser is recycled to the demethanizer.

Debutanizer

The bottoms product from the Depropanizer flows to the debutanizer where the raw C4s product is separated. The debutanizer operates at a pressure which permits total condensation of the overhead vapor against cooling water. The bottoms reboil heat is provided by low pressure steam. The debutanizer net overhead product, consisting of mixed C4s, is pumped to the butadiene extraction unit, C4 hydrogenation unit, or to OSBL storage for further processing.

The bottoms product is pumped and combined with gasoline from the gasoline stripper to make up the total raw pyrolysis gasoline product. After cooling against cooling water, the gasoline product is sent to pyrolysis gasoline hydrogenation unit. Pyrolysis gasoline should always flow directly from debutanizer to pyrolysis gasoline hydrogenation unit. Routing to intermediate storage provided between the NCU and PGH units should be done during PGH catalyst regeneration only.

FCC C3s Treatment The FCC C3 stream is passed through the dryer/treater and arsine treater and filter before being sent to the deethanizer. The dryer/treater is regenerable, whereas the arsine treater is non-regenerable. Two dryer/treaters are provided, one dryer/treater on-stream while the other is being regenerated in a cyclic operation. A compound bed of three types of adsorbents is used in the regenerable dryer/treater to remove water, CO2, COS, H2S, amines, halogens and mercaptans. The bottom bed removes water and halogens, the middle bed removes water and the top bed removes the remaining impurities. The arsine treater contains a single bed of copper oxide/aluminum oxide based adsorbent. The treater removes arsine and phosphine from the FCC C3 stream. The treated stream is passed through a filter for removing any carried over adsorbent particles before being sent to the deethanizer as third feed. C4 Hydrogenation

C4 hydrogenation unit is designed to operate in two modes; 1) total hydrogenation of the BD raffinate in normal operation, and 2) partially hydrogenate the raw mixed C4 (butadiene saturation only) when butadiene extraction unit is not in operation.

Page 24: Iocl Section 1 - Process Specfication

INDIAN OIL CORPORATION LIMITED

IOCL Section 1 – Process Specification.doc Page 23 February, 2005

Raffinate from BD plant or raw mixed C4 from debutanizer or OSBL storage flows to the feed surge drum. In the feed surge drum, any entrained water, if present, is separated. The feed is then pumped to reactor pressure and mixed with liquid recycle stream prior to entering the reactor.

A single reactor is provided. When end of run conditions are reached, catalyst is regenerated in-situ using a conventional steam and air procedure. Expected regeneration cycle varies from approximately 1 year when processing raw C4s to over 2 years when processing BD raffinate. Provision is made to inject CO rich hydrogen to control the activity of the catalyst during partially hydrogenation of raw C4s.

The recycle liquid from the HP flash drum is heated against liquid effluent from the reactor prior to mixing with the feed. This recycle liquid is required to limit vaporization and temperature rise across the reactor. The reactor inlet temperature is controlled by adjusting the split of recycle through the feed/effluent exchanger. At start-of-run, the tube side of the feed/effluent exchanger is completely bypassed. A feed preheater using LP steam is provided for start-up only.

When processing BD raffinate, the entire hydrogen flows to the top bed on flow control (reset by pressure control). When processing raw C4s, the major part of the hydrogen is added to the top bed on flow control and the remainder is injected to the lower bed on pressure control. The mixed phase feed passes downward through the catalyst beds where butadiene and butenes are hydrogenated. The exothermic heat of reaction causes a temperature rise and partial vaporization in the reactor. Liquid effluent from the reactor is cooled in a feed/effluent exchanger. After combining with the vapor effluent from the reactor, the mixture is partially condensed against the cooling water. Effluent from the condenser passes to the HP flash drum where liquid recycle is separated and returned to be mixed with fresh feed to the reactor. HP flash drum vapors are chilled against 3°C propylene refrigerant in a vent condenser. Liquid from the vent condenser flows back to the flash drum and non-condensables are recycled to the charge gas compressor 3rd stage discharge drum for recovery. The net liquid product is withdrawn from the HP flash drum and sent to the C4 stabilizer.

In the C4 stabilizer, dissolved hydrogen and methane are stripped from the C4 product. The stabilizer overhead is partially condensed against cooling water and reboiled using LP steam. The C4 product is withdrawn from the C4 stabilizer bottom, cooled in a water-cooled exchanger and recycled to cracking heater or pumped to OSBL LPG storage. The vent gases containing unreacted hydrogen and methane and equilibrium C4s are chilled against 3°C propylene refrigerant in a vent condenser. Liquid from the vent condenser flows back to the reflux drum and offgases are recycled to the charge gas compressor 3rd stage discharge drum along with offgases from HP flash drum.

Pyrolysis Gasoline Hydrogenation

The raw pyrolysis gasoline from the debutanizer and gasoline stripper, after cooling and filtering, is sent to feed surge drum where entrained water, if any, is separated and drained. Normally, the feed does not contain entrained water.

DPG First Stage

The pyrolysis gasoline is pumped from the surge drum to the first stage reactor. The fresh liquid feed is mixed with recycle liquid from the bottom of the reactor before entering the top bed of the reactor. Catalyst activity decreases with time, requiring raising of the reactor inlet temperature. The reactor inlet temperature is set by controlling the split of recycle flow through the recycle air cooler. The quantity of recycle is controlled to limit the exothermic temperature rise across the reactor. A MP steam exchanger is provided for startup.

The hydrogen enters the top of the first stage reactor under pressure control and travels down through the catalyst bed in intimate contact with the total liquid feed. The principal hydrogenation reactions occurring are the conversion of diolefins to olefins and styrene to ethylbenzene. Less than 10% of the diolefins and olefins are converted to paraffins.

The reactions take place in the liquid phase. The exothermic temperature rise across the reactor is controlled by adjusting the flow of recycle liquid.

Reactor temperature is raised as required to maintain product quality. The inlet temperature of the reactor may vary from about 60°C at start of run to 133°C at end of run. When the upper limit of operating temperature or reactor pressure drop is reached or product quality can no longer be maintained, the catalyst is regenerated in-situ using a conventional steam and air procedure.

The DPG1 reactor consists of one reactor. As a result, when reactor is regenerated, the raw pyrolysis gasoline feed from the debutanizer section is sent to OSBL storage. The storage capacity should be adequate for the regeneration period. Net liquid effluent is cooled against cooling water and is pumped to the first stage HP flash drum where hydrogen-rich gas is separated from the liquid product. Hydrogen-rich gas from the flash drum is sent to the second stage.

Stabilizer

The liquid from the flash drum is sent to the Stabilizer. In the Stabilizer, the light ends are separated from the treated gasoline. The tower is reboiled using MP steam and the overhead is condensed against cooling water. The vent gas from the reflux drum is sent to the charge gas compression section. The tower bottoms flow to the Tailing Tower.

Page 26: Iocl Section 1 - Process Specfication

INDIAN OIL CORPORATION LIMITED

IOCL Section 1 – Process Specification.doc Page 25 February, 2005

Tailing Tower The Tailing Tower separates the treated gasoline from the stabilizer bottoms into a C5-C8 cut overhead product and a C9+ bottoms product. The tower is reboiled using MP steam and the overhead is condensed against air cooling. Tower pressure is controlled by varying the pitch of the air coolers or by nitrogen injection. The C9+ bottoms product is sent to the rerun tower and the C5-C8 cut is sent to the DPG second-stage reactor.

Rerun Tower The purpose of the rerun tower is to remove any heavy ends (200°C) material from the C9+ stream. Gums present in the first stage DPG product end up with the heaviest cut. As a result, the gums are concentrated in the 200°C plus stream exiting the tailing tower bottom.

C9 plus stream from the tailing tower feeds the rerun tower. The rerun tower is reboiled using MP steam and the tower overhead is condensed with cooling water. The tower is operated under vacuum to minimize fouling in the tower bottom. The reboiler circuit operates in forced circulation mode for zero vaporization to minimize fouling. Non-condensable offgases (i.e., air leakage) are boosted using an ejector with MP steam as the motive fluid to a pressure high enough to send offgas to the heater firebox.

The heavy cut concentrated with gums is separated in the tower bottoms and is mixed with pyrolysis fuel oil, cooled and sent to OSBL storage. DPG Second Stage

The C5-C8 cut from the DPG first stage is the feed to the DPG second stage.

First stage treated C5-C8 heart cut is mixed with hydrogen-rich recycle gas and recycle liquid. The two-phase mixture is completely vaporized and heated by heat exchange against the second stage reactor effluent to the required reactor inlet temperature. A super high-pressure steam exchanger is provide for start-up.

In the second stage reactor, the olefins present in the feed are hydrogenated, and the sulfur compounds are converted to hydrocarbons and H2S over the catalyst. The reaction takes place in the vapor phase. The reactions are exothermic resulting in a temperature rise across the reactor which is moderated by recycle liquid. Catalyst activity decreases with time, requiring raising of the reactor inlet temperature. The inlet temperature of the reactor may vary from 220°C at start of run to about 250°C at end of run. When the upper limit of the operating temperature range is attained, the catalyst is regenerated in-situ, using

Page 27: Iocl Section 1 - Process Specfication

INDIAN OIL CORPORATION LIMITED

IOCL Section 1 – Process Specification.doc Page 26 February, 2005

the conventional steam/air procedure. The reactor effluent preheats the reactor feed before finally being cooled and partially condensed against cooling water.

The cooled vapor/liquid mixture is then separated in the high-pressure flash drum. The major portion of the vapor leaving this drum is mixed with the remainder of the make-up hydrogen required in the second stage and sent to the recycle gas compressor suction drum. Vapor from this drum is compressed in the recycle gas compressor and mixed with recycle liquid and first stage treated C5-C8 cut. A small net vent flow from the high-pressure flash drum is sent to the charge gas compression section. A portion of the liquid product (recycle liquid) is pumped from the high-pressure flash drum to be mixed with reactor feed. The net liquid product is sent to a low-pressure flash drum. The liquid from the low-pressure flash drum is sent as feed to the Depentanizer Tower.

Depentanizer

In the depentanizer, the C5 stream is separated from the C6 plus stream. The tower is reboiled using MP steam and the overhead is partially condensed in the air cooler and trim condenser against cooling water. The vent gas from the reflux drum plus the vapor from the low pressure flash drum are sent to the charge gas compression section. The tower bottoms is sent to battery limits as the C6-C8 Heart Cut. The C5 product is recycled to the cracking heaters to be co-cracked with the naphtha feedstock. Propylene Refrigeration The propylene refrigeration system is a closed, four stage system utilizing a steam turbine driven centrifugal compressor. The system provides refrigeration at four levels: -40.3°C, -27°C, -6.0°C and 15.6°C. Cooling water is used to condense the compressor discharge vapors.

Refrigeration is recuperated against offgas reheating, ethane recycle heating, deethanizer feed heating, ethylene fractionator reboiling and ethylene product vaporizing and superheating in the chilling train.

The propylene refrigeration system is provided with suction drums at each stage to provide surge volume for the various system users and to minimize liquid entrainment into the compressor at each stage as well as an accumulator at the compressor discharge to provide a liquid seal to ensure refrigerant condensing at the compressor discharge.

The propylene compressor design incorporated dry mechanical seals. The system is also designed to provide refrigeration for two BD plant users; namely C4 acetylene condenser and butadiene product cooler.

Page 28: Iocl Section 1 - Process Specfication

INDIAN OIL CORPORATION LIMITED

IOCL Section 1 – Process Specification.doc Page 27 February, 2005

Ethylene Refrigeration

The ethylene refrigeration is a closed, three stage system utilizing a steam turbine driven centrifugal compressor. The system provides three levels of refrigeration, i.e., -101.0°C, -75.0°C and –63°C. The compressor discharge vapors are cooled first against cooling water and then partially desuperheated against 15.6°C propylene refrigerant. The discharge is further desuperheated condensed in the ethylene fractionator side reboiler. A back-up condenser against –27°C propylene refrigerant is provided for start-up.

Refrigeration is recuperated by subcooling liquid ethylene refrigerant from the accumulator against offgases, deethanizer feed in the chilling train.

The ethylene refrigerant system is provided with suction drums at each stage to provide surge volume for the various system users and to minimize liquid entrainment into the compressor at each stage as well as an accumulator at the compressor discharge to provide a liquid seal to ensure refrigerant condensing at the compressor discharge.

The ethylene compressor design incorporated dry mechanical seals which prevents any compressor seal oil from entering the system and freezing. This eliminates the need for an oil mist eliminator in the compressor discharge.

BOG vapors from the OSBL low temperature atmospheric ethylene storage is reprocessed in the NCU via the ethylene refrigeration compressor. BOG vapors flow to the first stage of the ethylene refrigeration compressor and get condensed in the compressor discharge condenser. This liquid from the ethylene refrigerant accumulator is sent to the ethylene product surge drum and then chilled in ethylene product rundown chillers before being sent to OSBL cryogenic ethylene storage.

Fuel Gas System Primary fuel gas is a mixture of HP methane offgas from dryer regeneration system and LP methane offgas from chilling train. Makeup/backup fuel is C3/C4 LPG supplied from the adjacent refinery. Provision to use revaporated liquefied natural gas (RLNG) as makeup/backup fuel in the future is also provided. In normal operation, primary fuel gas is not sufficient to fully meet the heater firing demand. The shortfall is met by makeup LPG fuel.

Primary fuel gas is received in fuel gas mix drum. Ethane recycle vapor, BD unit offgas and excess hydrogen can also be received in this drum. Any heavy liquid condensed in the drum is drained to wet flare knockout drum. RLNG vapor will be received in the mix drum under pressure control.

Low NOx burners require fuel gas to be free of rust particles and liquid droplets. Therefore, fuel gas from mix drum passes through filter/coalescer before being sent to the heaters. C3/C4 LPG is received in the fuel gas vaporizer drum under level control. It is vaporized with LP steam. The LPG vapor is superheated and sent to the fuel gas mix drum under pressure control during normal, start-up and upset conditions.

Notes:

1. This specification depends upon the sulfur content (mercaptan) of the mixed C4 stream. The source of the Mercaptans in C4 product is the unreacted mercaptans contained in the naphtha feedstock. Since feed concentrations are not available and the kinetics are not precisely known, it is difficult to predict the sulfur content of the mixed C4 stream. Typical sulfur specification for butadiene product is 10 wt ppm.

2. TBC is injected into the butadiene product to inhibit polymer formation

during storage. Typical TBC dosage in butadiene product is 50-75 wt ppm.

2.4 Utility Consumption Utility consumptions for Case 1 and 2 are provided in Section 3 of the Basic Engineering Package. The basis for the balances are indicated in each utility section. The utility consumptions are summarized in Table 2.4.1 below. The consumption includes all the process units (Naphtha Cracker, C4 Hydro, Pyrolysis Gasoline Hydrogenation, Butadiene and Benzene units) and the ISBL steam/condensate system including deaerater/BFW pumps.

(-) means export 2.5 Specific Energy Consumption The specific energy consumption is a useful measure to evaluate the overall efficiency of a process. When making this comparison, it is extremely important to understand the basis of the specific energy calculation. In general, two techniques are utilized in the industry. The first approach evaluates steam as equivalent SHP steam since useful work may be derived between the various steam levels. When using this approach the fuel equivalent values are assigned as follows:

(1) For SHP steam, the fuel equivalent value is calculated by taking the enthalpy difference between the blend of turbine and LP condensates feeding the deaerater at 100°C and the SHP steam level of 120.0 kg/cm2g and 520°C. SHP steam is raised in the cracking heater at 93.5% efficiency. The resulting value is 761 kcal/kg.

Page 63: Iocl Section 1 - Process Specfication

INDIAN OIL CORPORATION LIMITED

IOCL Section 1 – Process Specification.doc Page 62 February, 2005

(2) For HP steam import or export the fuel equivalent value is set by calculating the additional SHP steam that must be produced and let down in the various compressor turbines to produce a fixed quantity of HP steam. This ratio is 0.736 kg of SHP steam per kg of HP steam. Hence, the fuel equivalent value is 560 kcal/kg. In a similar fashion the fuel equivalent value of MP steam is 419 kcal/kg and LP steam is 302 kcal/kg.

(3) For electricity the fuel equivalent value is 2.46 MMkcal per MW of

electric power based on a 35% power plant efficiency. The second approach is to value the export steam at its enthalpy value. This approach will result in the reporting of lower specific energy consumptions. Using this technique the following fuel equivalent values may be assigned:

kcal/kg SHP Steam 122.0 kg/cm2g & 520°C 812.4 HP Steam 40.0 kg/cm2g & 380°C 756.0 MP Steam 15.1 kg/cm2g & 270°C 708.5 LP Steam 3.6 kg/cm2g & 195°C 679.9

Values have been calculated both ways to show the relative impact. The values are presented in the Table 2.5.1. The basis for the specific energy calculation is the normal operating fuel gas, steam, and electric power at 800,000 TPA plant capacity for all ISBL process units (Naphtha Cracker, C4 Hydro, PGHU, BEU and BZEU) and deaerater and BFW pumps. .
