BPCL's ambitious plans to ferry high viscosity products from Mumbai to Kochi-I: Kochi to make value added products

BPCL has put together a ambitious plan to supply massive quantities of high pour point and high viscosity intermediates such as Low and High Sulphur Vaccum Residues (HSVR), Low Sulphur Heavy Stock (LSHS) and Vaccum Gas Oil (VGO)  from its Mumbai refinery to the newly revamped and expanded Kochi refinery.
8The Mumbai refinery will transfer as much as 400 TMT of HSVR per annum to Kochi
8HSVR in fact is a blend of vacuum residues with 10 % to 15 % heavy kerosene which will be stored separately for transfer to Kochi
8The HSVR will be processed in the DCU in Kochi for more value added products.
8Then again, the total plant fuel requirement in Kochi subsequent to its expansion and revamp is estimated at 422 TMT of which around 120 TMT will be internally generated, leaving a gap of 322 TMT of low sulphur plant fuel to be imported by the refinery. This gap can be plugged by Mumbai refinery by supplying 170 to 200 TMT of LSHS to the Kochi refinery, with only the balance 122 TMT of low sulphur fuel oil left to be imported by Kochi.
