Honeywell technology to help Indian Oil meet new clean fuel standards




Honeywell (HON) said that the Indian Oil Corporation Ltd (IOCL) has chosen Honeywell UOP’s pressure swing adsorption (PSA) technology to supply high-quality hydrogen at five of its refineries.
Hydrogen is essential to the refining process, where it is used to decontaminate oil and facilitate catalytic processes that produce clean-burning fuels, including those that meet the Indian government’s strict Bharat Stage VI (BS-VI) environmental standards.
Under the terms of the agreement, Honeywell UOP will provide new PSA units to IOCL refineries at Gujarat, Panipat, and Mathura, and will upgrade existing hydrogen plants with UOP’s Polybed PSA technology at refineries in Haldia, Guwahati and Gujarat. Together, the six projects will generate 166,000 tons per year of new hydrogen capacity, representing an almost 30 percent increase for IOCL.
