New Delhi, January 4, 2020: L&T Hydrocarbon Engineering (LTHE) has bagged two orders worth over Rs 7,000 crore and between Rs 2,500-5,000 crore from HPCL Rajasthan Refinery Ltd (HRRL), a joint venture between Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd (HPCL) and the government of Rajasthan, the company said on Monday.

The mega engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning (EPCC) contract is for setting up a Dual Feed Cracker Unit (DFCU), EPCC-07 Package (capacity: 890 KTPA) for HPCL’s Rajasthan Refinery Project at Barmer, Rajasthan. “The DFCU is the biggest EPCC contract awarded in the country to date in the Refinery and Petrochemical Sector.

The unit is licensed by TechnipFMC. “The PFCC will convert the heavy hydrocarbons from the Vacuum Distillation Unit to produce more valuable gasoline, diesel, propylene and lighter products by the process of catalytic cracking,” said the statement.

Subramanian Sarma, whole-time Director and Senior EVP (Energy), Larsen & Toubro Limited, and CEO and MD, LTHE said, “We are very delighted to be part of this mega development project in Rajasthan and I would like to thank HRRL and HPCL for having trust in our capabilities to deliver such complex process plants with high standards of HSE and Quality.”
