Godrej & Boyce, the flagship company of the Godrej Group, announced that its business, Godrej Process Equipment, delivers a critical LC Max Vacuum Tower to a refinery modernisation project in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh.

The supersized equipment with a diameter of 9600 mm, is the largest equipment manufactured by Godrej Process Equipment. The tower has an approximate weight of 700 tonnes and 65 metres in length, and will be deployed at a Residue Upgradation Facility in Vishakapatnam, Andhra Pradesh. This equipment will be used to convert the heaviest crude oils into high-quality BSVI fuel, while simultaneously increasing feedstock and product flexibility. This refinery up-gradation will process an additional 80,000 barrels of crude oil per day.

The Vacuum Tower has been manufactured and supplied from Godrej & Boyce’s state-of-the-art, coastal manufacturing facility, located in Dahej, Gujarat, through its self-owned sea-going jetty that enables handling of large over-sized consignments.

Hussain Shariyarr, Senior Vice President & Business Head, Godrej Process Equipment said, “We are delighted to deliver the LC Max Vacuum Tower along with other fractionators’ columns and high-pressure vessels for the Hydrocracker unit which is one of the most critical units in a refinery. In line with our philosophy of continual improvement and capacity advancement, we have set another benchmark for us by manufacturing this tower with a 9.6m diameter that’s the maximum by Godrej so far. In addition to supplying this key equipment for the refinery, the execution of this order is yet another contribution in achieving the goal of ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’.”
