Propylene is a key component or raw material for many end use products. Propylene, also known as Propene gas or C3, is one of the major building blocks of the Petrochemical Industry. C3 is used as a feed stock for the manufacture of Poly-propylene, and hence the name Poly-Propylene Feed Stock.
Application
Propylene (C3) is available in three variants:
USPs: as per refinery specs
PESO class: A class gaseous
Sulphur is a by-product produced during processing of crude and finished products. BPCL Sulphur has a purity of over 99.9 %.
There are three grades being marketed; Molten, lump and Pellet Sulphur. Sulphur is available ex-Mumbai, Kochi and Bina.
PESO class: Excluded class
Petroleum coke (abbreviated PETCOKE) is a carbonaceous Solid Fuel delivered from refinery coker units or other cracking processes.
Petroleum coke is typically used as a source of energy, or as a source of carbon for industrial application. Use of Pet Coke as a fuel is banned in many states where fuels have been banned based on Sulphur content and emissions.
Product class: Excluded class
Naphtha is a highly versatile and flammable liquid hydrocarbon mixture, commonly used as a feedstock and is a key raw material in petrochemical industries. Naphtha is a general term used to describe special boiling point spirits having boiling range of 30°C to 180°C (approx.). It Is used as a feed stock for fertiliser manufacturing, Fuel in Gas Turbines in Power plants. Also used as raw material for production of Urea & Ammonia Petrochemicals. Mumbai Refinery (MR) produces a single grade, viz. Low Aromatic Naptha (with aromatic content of typically around 6 – 10%), while Kochi Refinery (KR) produces two types of Naphtha, viz. Low Aromatic Naphtha (LAN) (with aromatic content generally < 12 %V) and HAN (High Aromatic Naphtha) (with aromatic content generally > 12 %v). LAN and HAN are different grades of Naphtha depending on different customer requirements. KR also produces a mixed grade of Naptha depending on specific customer need. Generally the High aromatic variety are used in combustion and the Low aromatic variety in petrochemicals and fertilizer manufacturing
LPG is a clean-burning, versatile fuel composed mainly of propane and butane. due to its high calorific value and low carbon emissions, LPG serves are a preferred choice towards green transition in Industries.
Propane is a colorless, odorless, and highly flammable gas, widely used as a fuel for heating esp. where there is a requirement of constant and consistent High temperatures like Kilns. It also serves as a feedstock for producing propylene, a crucial material for plastics and petrochemicals.
Butane is a colorless, odorless hydrocarbon gas that is easily liquefied under pressure. It is used for heating, aerosols etc. Butane is also a important feedstock for Petrochemical industries.
Benzene is a hydrocarbon & is produced from the refinery Aromatics recovery unit or as a by-product during naphtha cracking. It is primarily used as an intermediate to make products such as styrene, polystyrene, phenol and nylon. In India, Benzene finds its primary applications in textile, agricultural & detergent industries. Benzene is also an important gasoline additive with a high octane number, so it is used to improve the anti-knocking characteristic of gasoline.
Benzene produced from BPCL’s Mumbai & Kochi Refinery is a popular product amongst its users for its quality, conforming to IS 543-1992 specifications.
BPCL will be producing Benzene from BTX unit at the Ethylene Cracker at Bina Refinery. The unit will be commissioned in FY2028
Application:
Key Properties :
BPC-MR controls Bromine Index (Olefin compounds) and Toluene content at lowest level which improves the purity and helps in increasing the yield of intermediates
Toluene is a pure aromatic compound having a fixed boiling point unlike other petroleum product, which are a mixture of hydrocarbon compounds. Toluene is primarily used in the manufacture of chemicals, drugs, explosives, food flavouring and sweetening agents, paints and resins. Toluene is a hydrocarbon & is produced from the refinery Aromatics recovery unit or as a by-product during naphtha cracking. Toluene.is also an important gasoline additive with a high-octane number, so it is used to improve the anti-knocking characteristic of gasoline. Toluene produced from BPCL’s Mumbai & Kochi Refinery is a popular product amongst its users for its quality, conforming to IS 537-1967 specifications. Toluene is also available at BPCL import and storage terminal at IMC Kandla conforming to IS 537-1967 BPCL will be producing Toluene from BTX unit at the Ethylene Cracker at Bina Refinery. The unit will be commissioned in FY2028
