The Heavy Engineering arm of Larsen & Toubro (L&T) has won contracts for its various business segments in Q3/FY22.
The modification, revamp and upgrade (MRU) business of L&T Heavy Engineering has been awarded an important contract by a key hydrocarbon sector customer in the Middle East.
It covers detailed engineering, supply of critical equipment and components, leading into multidisciplinary site work involving multiple staggered shutdowns during which the revamp work would be carried out.
The MRU business has also been awarded a project for revamp of Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) System for another important hydrocarbon sector customer in the Middle East.
In the domestic market, the MRU business has been awarded the project for Residue Fluid Catalytic Cracking (RFCC) revamp as part of the expansion of the Barauni Refinery (BR-9) by the Indian Oil Corporation (IOCL).
The RFCC units are being commissioned and operated to convert hydrotreated and straight-run residue to maximise yield of propylene, which will be used to produce Polypropylene in the downstream petrochemical unit.
The project mainly includes capacity augmentation of the existing RFCC unit and conversion of this existing unit into INDMAX FCC unit, to maximise propylene yield.
The expansion will enhance the crude processing capacity of the Barauni Refinery from six million tpa to nine million tpa.
This order is a testimony of IOCL’s faith in L&T Heavy Engineering’s capabilities for engineering, manufacturing, and integration of technology intensive revamps in this sector.
Other orders secured by L&T Heavy Engineering include critical hydrocracker and hydrotreater reactors for the residue processing and treating unit of the Numaligarh Refinery; ethylene oxide reactors for a mono-ethylene glycol (MEG) project in Poland from a European client; ethylene oxide reactor for another MEG Project in Uzbekistan; waste heat boiler packages for an ammonia plant in Israel & high-pressure heat exchangers for IOCL Barauni Refinery.
All L&T Heavy Engineering facilities are all equipped with Industry 4.0 solutions in engineered-to-order manufacturing. The Heavy Engineering business of L&T has a proven track record of supplying technology-intensive, engineered-to-order equipment and systems to global customers in refinery, oil & gas, petrochemicals, fertilisers and nuclear power sectors.
