Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited SA Innovative Products by R&D Center of HPCL (We understand your Niche requirement) Brought to you by I&C SBU of HPCLOnline Furnace Descaling / Cleaning Service (HP FurnoKare) Furnace tube scaling sacommonly encountered problem in refineries, which overa period of time becomes thick deposits. This reduces the heat transfer efficiency of the tubes & the skin temperature increases to the maximum design temperature. To address this, HPCL developed in-house chemical formulation for online cleaning of furnace tubes for removal of scales without shutting down the unit. The product was successfully demonstrated & implemented at about 25 furnaces of HPCL Mumbai & Visakh Refineries along with MRPL, OMPL, IOCL Mathura and Nayara Energy Ltd. I | Bio Additive to enhance ETP Performance (HP Bioactiva) HPCL R&D developed a new bio-additive for the treatment of refinery effluent. The newly developed product consists of adapted microbial consortia along with essential nutrients for boosting the microbial activity. The addition of HP Bioactiva reinvigorates the biological system resulting in reduced levels of BOD, COD, and phenolics. The newly developed bio additive has been successfully implemented with sustained activity even under shock loads of chlorides, sulphurous compounds ‘and ammonia at both the HPCL refineries, HMEL Bhatinda, Chemical Industries, CETP’s ete. Corrosion Inhibitor for LPG pipeline (HP Corrmit) Corrosion is one of the major problems in pipeline transportation, which leads to leakage of gases, fuels and often to major accidents. To mitigate this problem, Corrosion inhibitors (Ci are injected into that protects the internal surface of pipeline by forming protective layer. HPGROC developed anew family of novel, highly efficient corrosion inhibitors, HPCORRMIT, for fuels such as liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), Gasoline, Diesel, etc. HP-CORRMIT pe ON, ines at very low dosage level (ppm) *"7~" Peer ceeeet . Cape ei 0 etn r ar = poy hhas successfully being implemented at HPCL's MHMSPL and UCPL (LPG pipeline) since1 year 'y Sid Dewatering Chemical for crude storage tanks (HP Dewa) Crude oil contains impurities such as sediments, mud, water and heavy metals. Water removed by settling is the free water and not the water associated with crude i.., emulsified water. This oll - water emulsion settles along with the other inorganicimpurities atthe bottom of the tank as "Sludge". This sludge accumulated over prolonged period of time needs to be removed. In this regard HPGROC has developed an improved surfactant formulation both to enhance the free water separation and also remove emulsified water from the crude oll. Scaled-up trails for HP DEWA was carried out at HPCL Visakh & Mumbairefineries.Antifoulant for different Heat Exchangers of Refinery (HP Thermopro) Fouling of refinery process equipment is a common problem resulting in severe economic penalties. Solutions to these issues are currently offered by few foreign vendors and they are process specific. HPCLR&D has developed a novel Antifoulant » HP-THERMOPRO to mitigate fouling in heat exchangers. The formulation prevents the reactions contributing to fouling thus leading to superior performance ‘over commercial benchmarks. The product was successfully demonstrated in crude-side & SR-side preheat exchangers at HPCL Visakh & Mumbai refineries. Main advantage is that itis a single formulation which is effective forall types of crudes and heat exchanger circuits Neutralizing amine for Crude Distillation unit of Refinery (HP Neutmax) Newtsing Amine Corrosion in the overhead system of crude distillation units is a severe problem which is caused by HCI produced by hydrolysis of chloride salts in crude oll. To mitigate this corrosion, neutralizing amines are dosed at Volume of Bate (mi) overhead section of the crude unit. HPCL R&D has developed a novel neutralizing amine i.e., HP - NEUTMAX keeping in view the neutralizing HP-NEUTIAX Pe ability, solu of the salts and corrosion rate. The product was successfully. demonstrated at the CDUs of HPCL Visakh refinery with better performance at lowerdosages Pressure Drop Reducer in DHDS / NHT Unit (HP Ducer) Fixed bed reactors in refineries are highly prone to plugging issues which lead to Increase in pressure drop across the reactors and reduced feed throughput, HPCL's HPDUCER, provides a solution to the issue of solid deposits in hydroprocessing reactors. The product was successfully demonstrated in DHDS reactors of HPCL Visakh Refinery & NHL Reactors of HPCL Mumbai Refinery. Major advantagesareits longevity and efficiency, which results in reduction in total consumption of the chemical. Dewaxing Aid -150N/SPO grades Base Oil to enhance the dewaxing process (HP DWA 150N) Solvent dewaxing process's one of the important processes in tube refinery, which Is used to remove wax from tube raffinates. Dewaxing aid isa chemical that assists and enhances the dewaxing process. HPCL R&D has developed HP-DWA (15ON) at lab scale and further scaled up and successfully completed commercial trails in Propane Dewaxing unit of HPCL Mumbai Refinery.DLA (Diesel Lubricity Additive) - (HP DLA) Sulphur compounds are natural carriers of lubricity in diesel. However, to meet growing environmental concerns, stringent restrictions are being applied on diesel sulphur levels (50 ppm in BS 1V/ Euro IV to 10 ppm in BS VI/Euro Vi). As a result, Toad inherent lubricity of diesel is adversely affected whichis typically compensated by addition of external additives. HPCL has indigenously developed a new family of additive, HP-DLA, The additive is showed significantly improved activity over an conventional additives. HP-DLA has been successfully implemented in HPCL, Visakh a ‘&Mumbatrefineries. HINDUSTAN PETROLEUM CORPORATION LIMITED MARATHON FUTUREX, ‘ }OR, N. M.
