Hydro-Treater and the maximum size of the Petro-FCC unit.
According to the NRL with the adoption of State of the Art technology in the preparation and addition of more complex schemes such as residue hydrocracking, the refinery will be able to process Crude Oil hard and increase distillate production. This adoption of technology has resulted in an increase in project costs from Rs. 22,594 Crore went to Rs. 28,026 thousand.
