ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
It is great that Indian Oil Corporation Limited
provides training to a large number of students like us
for practical assimilation of knowledge pertaining to our
respective disciplines.
After the completion of the training program, I found it
to be of immense help, not only in supplementing the
theoretical knowledge, but also by gaining highly
practical knowledge regarding the actual work carried
out in a Refinery Plant.
I would like to express my gratitude to Mr. R. SAXENA
(PNM) who helped me in any way to complete my
project work.
I am also very grateful to Mr. Vivek Vikram Singh
(Section In-charge Engineer, FCCU) & Mr. Aakash
Puri (Section In-charge Engineer, FCCU) who
patiently explained the working of the plant and
provided the needed conceptual understanding for the
project. The series of discussions with him has
increased my practical knowledge about the plant and
the industry.
I am heartily thankful to all unit heads and all technical
& Non-technical staff of MATHURA REFINERY for their
great efforts to enhance my practical knowledge.
Thank you once again.

REFINERY PROCESS
The refining process depends on the chemical processes of
distillation (separating liquids by their different boiling points) and
catalysis (which speeds up reaction rates), and uses the principles
of chemical equilibria. Chemical equilibrium exists when the
reactants in a reaction are producing products, but those products
are being recombined again into reactants. By altering the
reaction conditions the amount of either products or reactants can
be increased.
Refining is carried out in three main steps.
Step 1 - Separation
The oil is separated into its constituents by distillation, and some
of these components (such as the refinery gas) are further
separated with chemical reactions and by using solvents which

ROUTING:
1.5.1. ATMOSPHERIC DISTILLATION UNIT
The ADU (Atmospheric Distillation Unit) separates most of the
lighter end products such as gas, gasoline, naphtha, kerosene,
and gas oil from the crude oil. The bottoms of the ADU are then
sent to the VDU (Vacuum Distillation Unit). Crude oil is preheated
by the bottoms feed exchanger, further preheated and partially
vaporized in the feed furnace and then passed into the
atmospheric tower where it is separated into off gas, gasoline,
naphtha, kerosene, gas oil and bottoms.
Atmospheric and Vacuum unit (AVU) of Mathura Refinery is
designed to process 100% Bombay High Crude and 100% Arab
Mix crude (consisting of Light and Heavy crude in 50:50
proportion by weight) in blocked out operation @ 11.0 MMTPA.

25
In this process Heavy Gas Oil cut (Raw Oil) from Vacuum
Distillation Section of AVU is catalytically cracked to obtain more
valuable light and middle distillates. The present processing
capacity of the unit is about 1.48 MMT/Yr. It consists of the
following sections:
Catalytic section,
Fractionation section and
26
from the standpipe flows into the riser through a slide valve to
complete the catalyst circulation cycle. Catalyst particles in the
flue gas leaving the regenerator are separated at the top of
regenerator by three sets of two-stage cyclones. The flue gas
contains both CO and CO2 as carbon is burnt off partly to CO and
partly to CO2 in the regenerator. The sensible and chemical heat
in flue gas is utilized to generate steam in CO Boiler. The flue gas
is passed through' the orifice chamber & regenerator. Pressure is
controlled by double disc slide valve.

Coke is deposited on the catalyst in the reaction zone. The spent
catalyst flows downwards into the stripping section of the reactor.
After steam stripping to remove oil vapours from it the catalyst
flows from the reactor standpipe to the regenerator through a
slide valve in the regenerator, the coke is burnt off, oxygen for
burning being supplied by an air blower. The heat of combustion
raises the catalyst temperature to more than 600 C. Most of the
heat in the catalyst is given to the feed in the reactor riser to

31
In this section, the vapors coming out of the reactor top at very
high temperature are fractionated into wet gas and un-stabilized
gasoline overhead products, heavy naphtha, and light cycle oil as
side products. Heavy cycle oil drawn from the column is totally
recycled along with the feed after providing for the recycle stream
to the column.
The column bottom slurry containing a small quantity of catalyst
is sent to a slurry settler. From the settler bottom, the thickened
slurry is recycled back to the riser for recovering catalyst is sent
to a settler and from the settler bottom, the thickened slurry is

The flue gas leaving the regenerator via orifice chamber contains
8-13% carbon monoxide, the rest being inert like nitrogen, steam,
carbon dioxide, etc. In the CO Boiler, flue gas is burnt with air
converting, carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide, thus releasing the
heat of combustion of CO in the boiler. This heat as well as the
sensible heat in flue gas available at a high temperature is
utilized for raising medium pressure steam.

VIS-BREAKING UNIT
3.1. Introduction:
The Visbreaker Unit is designed for processing a mixture of
Atmospheric and Vacuum Residue from 1:1 mixture of Light
Arabian and North Rumaila Crudes. It reduces the viscosity and
pour point of heavy petroleum fractions so that product can be
sold as fuel oil. The nominal capacity of the plant is 0.8 MMTPA of
mixed Feed. However, the design capacity has been kept as 1.0
MMTPA to take care of Fluctuations in the Bitumen production.
The unit produces Gas, Naphtha, and Heavy Naphtha, VB Gas Oil,
Visbreaker fuel oil (a mixture of VB gas oil and VB tar). In actual
practice design feed was not available. So long residue and short
Residue of Nineteen type of imported crudes e.g. Arab Mix, Arab
Light, Arab Heavy, Rostam, Solman, Light Iranian, Algerian, Heavy
Iranian, Lagos medio,
Basrah,Ummshaif, Iran Mix, Iran blend, AbooAlbakoosh, Dubai,
Kuwait, Haut. Oman, Nigerian and two types of Indegeneous
crude Bombay High and Ratnabad had to be processed in the unit
from the very commissioning. Long And short residue proportion
also varied to a large extent depending on tank Ullage position
etc. A provision is also made by a small modification to route V B
35
Gas oil to HSD / LDO pool over and above its original routing
provision to V B tar.
At present all the Short residue and vac slop produced in BH run
in AVU is routed to VBU for HPS production. Short residue and vac
slop in Nigerian crude run along with BH cold feed is routed to
VBU for HPS production. Nigerian SR and vac slop is also routed to
VBU (limited to 20% of blend) for FO production with HS as cold
feed .Balance Nigerian SR is routed along with RCO for IFO top up.
Short residue produced in HS run is routed to Bitumen unit and
balance SR along with vac slop is routed to VBU. Following table
summaries shows the mode of operation in VBU and their feed
streams.

one blind tray. Feed enters flash zone below the 26th Valve tray.
The overhead vapours from the column are condensed and cooled
in heat exchangers.
The liquid vapour mixture is separated in the reflux drum.
Gasoline from flash fractionator is picked up by reflux pumps and
partly pumped to column top as reflux. The remaining gasoline is
routed to stabilizer under reflux drum level controller, which is
cascaded with flow controller. The sour water is drained from the
drum boot under interface level controller and routed to sour
water stripper. Main reflux drum and its water boot are having
level glasses. Uncondensed gas from Gas oil stripper goes to
FCC/AVU furnaces / Flare. Column top pressure around 4.5kg/cm2
(g). Column overhead line is provided with working and controlled
safety valves.
The heavy naphtha at a temperature of about 170 oC is
withdrawn from tray no. 10 under level controller. It is stripped in
the stripper to maintain its flash point. The heavy naphtha is
routed to HSD. Gas oil at a temperature of about 260 oC is
withdrawn from the blind accumulator tray under tray level
controller. It is steam stripped in the stripper ot maintain its flash
point. Vapor from stripper top returns back to column just above
the blind accumulator tray. A part of gas oil from air cooler is used
for washing VB tar filters Blind accumulator tray and strippers are
provided with level glasses.
To remove extra heat and to maintain desired temperature profile
in column, a portion of gas oil from blind tray is taken and
pumped in two streams. One stream is used as heating media in
steam generator where it is cooled from 260 oC to 214 oC. The

c) REBOILING HEATER:
Splitter re-boiler supplies the heat necessary for splitter reboiling. It is a six pass vertical cylindrical heater with 6
burners having provision for combination firing of both fuel
gas and fuel oil. However they are designed for 100 % of fuel
gas or fuel oil firing.
Desired temperature at outlet is maintained by controlling
the fuel firing. The radiant section of the heater is provided
with 12 bare tubes per pass. The convection section has
studded as well as bare tubes. The permissible maximum
tube skin temperature for the heater is 253 oC.
In the heat recovery system, FD fan supplies hot air for
combustion through APH and hot flue gases are discharged
to stack using ID fan after exchanging heat in APH.
d) CONDENSATE RECOVERY SECTION:
Feed naphtha preheating is achieved by LP and MP steam preheaters. The LP steam condensate vessel floats with the LP
steam header through a 1.5 line from the top of the vessel.
The level in LP condensate pot is maintained at 50% by level
control valve, which transfers the condensate to condensate
recovery drum by pressure head. MP Steam is under cascade
control splitter inlet temperature. The level in MP condensate
vessel is maintained at 50% by level control valve, which
transfers the condensate to condensate recovery drum by its
pressure head. The total condensate received in the
condensate recovery vessel, is pumped to condensate
