TRAINING REPORT MAY JUNE 2019
PREFACE
❖ Industrial training plays a vital role in the progress of future engineers. Not
only does it provide insights about the future concerned, it also bridges the
gap between theory and practical knowledge. We are fortunate that we
were provided with an opportunity of undergoing an industrial training at
INDIAN OIL CORPORATION LTD. (GUJARAT REFINERY). The
experience gained during this short period was fascinating to say the least.
It was a tremendous feeling to observe the operation of different units and
processes. It was overwhelming for us to notice how such a huge refinery
is being monitored and operated with proper coordination to achieve
desired results. During our training, we realized that in order to be a
successful chemical engineer, one needs to put his/her concepts into action.
Thus, we hope that this training serves as a stepping stone for us in future
and help us carve a niche for ourselves. In this field.

➢ PROCESS DESCRIPTION
FOTE-MSU Page 15
❖ In Atmospheric Unit, Crude Oil is separated into various fractions in

fractionation column based on relative volatility, boiling point and
condensation temperature ranges of the various components. These
fractions have different properties. Most of them are lighter then crude
accepting the bottom product LR (Long Residue).
❖ Basic operations involved in AU are as follows:-

• Crude Preheating and Desalting
• Crude heating in Charge Heater
• Atmospheric Distillation
• Naphtha Stabilization
• LPG Amine and Caustic washing
• Light Naphtha Caustic washing
• Kerosene./ATF Caustic washing
❖ Atmospheric Unit is divided into a Number of subsections as given
below:
• Crude Preheat Train I (old and new)

• Crude Desalter
• Crude Preheat Train II (old and new)
• Crude Charge Heater
• Atmospheric Distillation Column
• Naphtha Stabilizer
• Product Cooling and Run Down system
• LPG Amine wash system
• LPG Caustic wash system
• Light Naphtha Caustic Wash system

• Kero/ATF Caustic wash system
FOTE-MSU Page 16
• Chemical Injection system.

1. CRUDE CHARGING INTO UNIT
❖ Crude from crude storage tanks in GRE (Gujarat Refinery Expansion)
crude offsite area is pumped into Atmospheric Unit through a 14”
header.Crude is received at 9.5 Kg/cm2 g pressure and ambient
temperature. The following instruments are provided in the crude inlet
line to the Unit within Unit Battery Limit.
• Local pressure gauge PG-1101

• Pressure Transmitter PT-1102 with DCS indication
❖ From the 14” headers, Crude Booster pumps take suction and deliver
crude to the preheat Train-I through a 12” discharge header.
2. CRUDE PREHEAT TRAIN-I
❖ Crude preheat trains are provided to accomplish the following.
➢ To heat the crude oil and bring it to the required desalting temperature.
➢ To further heat the crude oil after desalting.
➢ To recover heat from outgoing products and circulating reflux streams
by heating the crude oil, thereby improving fuel economy in operation
at unit.
❖ Crude Preheat Train–I is divided in to two parts.
o Preheat Train–I (Old)

o Preheat Train – I (New).
❖ After it Crude is divided in to two parts. Crude is passed through
exchanger’s series. Crude oil temperature rises to 135 o
C. Again it
passed through pumps to Desalters.
❖ The purpose of heating up crude in preheat train I before Desalter is to
improve oil’s Fluidity, reduce its viscosity, and to help mixing desalter
water thoroughly with it.
FOTE-MSU Page 17
❖ Normally desalting water is added upstream of these mixing valves.

Provision exists to add desalting water into crude upstream.
❖ The purpose of the mixing valve is to thoroughly mix the crude and
water prior to desalting.
3. DESALTERS OPERATION
❖ Needs of Desalting:
❖ Crude oil brings along with it salts, particularly those of sodium,
Magnesium etc, metals like Arsenic, Vanadium etc. and mud.
❖ Although these are present only in small amounts, their presence can
result in serious problems in downstream equipments like Heat
exchangers, charge heater and Atmospheric column. Hence the need of
their removal is important before processing.
❖ At high temperatures, Magnesium chloride decomposes and forms
Hydrochloric acid, corroding trays in the top section of column and
tubes of overhead condensers etc.
❖ The presence of calcium and sodium salts can cause plugging of heat
exchanger and heater tubes, there by rapidly reducing heat transfer co-
efficient.
❖ The presence of Arsenic acts as a poison to platinum catalysts if it is
used in downstream process units. Presence of these salts also promotes
coke formation in heater tubes which results in increased pressure drop
as well as less heat transfer rates.
❖ The excessive coke formation results in escalation of hot spots on heater
tubes which can have serious and disastrous consequences for heater
tubes. At high temperature salts in crude oil show a tendency to deposit
along heat exchange surface of the equipment.
❖ Caustic injection upstream of desalter in crude is done to neutralize
acids present in crude and convert them into water solvable salts.
FOTE-MSU Page 18
❖ These salts are then removed by desalter water in desalter. Caustic

injection downstream desalter is provided to neutralize any other acid
traces formed at desalter operating conditions.
❖ Brine is associated with crude both as a fine suspension of droplets and
more permanent emulsion. To break this tight emulsion, Demulsifier is
added. This ensures better function of Desalter. Demulsifier is injected
into crude upstream of desalter.
❖ Depending upon salt contents in crude both desalter units can be
operated either in series or individually but not in parallel.
❖ Any of the two desalters can be isolated and bypassed. Crude desalter
operates at 12.5 Kg/cm2 g pressure.
❖ It is designed to bring down the salt content of the crude from 165 ppm
to less than 0.5 ptb.
❖ Also, the water content of crude is brought down from 0.2% volume to
less than 200 ppm at the exit of desalter.
❖ Crude and desalter water enters the Desalter from its bottom. Crude
outlet from top of the vessel is connected to the Desalted crude pump
suction.
❖ Two stage crude desalter comprising of two identical desalting units.
Has been provided for reducing salt content in crude oil to the level of
<0.5 PTB.
❖ Two stage Desalter unit arrangement is provided to handle crude with
widely carrying salt contents.
❖ The material that collects at desalter bottom is a thick sludge that is
corrosive and often has a tendency to choke the piping. This material
needs to be cleaned periodically.
❖ For this de-sledging arrangements in both the desalter have been
provided. Dislodging is a batch process.
FOTE-MSU Page 19
4. CRUDE PREHEAT TRAIN – II

➢ PROCESS DESCRIPTION
Unit Description
❖ The unit consists of the following sections:

o Feed Section
o Reaction Section
o Reactor Effluent Cooling Circuit
o Wash Water Circuit
o HP and MP Separator Section
o Recycle Gas Loop
o Stripper Section
o Stabilizer Section
o Amine Scrubbing
1. Feed Section:
❖ This combined gas oil blend flows to the Feed Surge Drum through
automated backwash filter to remove any carry over rust and
polymeric components in feed cascaded with FIC-0101 through the
Feed Filter.
❖ The feed drum is fuel gas blanketed and the drum pressure is
maintained at 1.5 kg/cm2g using a split range control.
❖ The oil feed is then pumped to the feed preheat train reactor circuit
on flow control using the Gas Oil Feed Pumps. The feed drum
level is controlled by adjusting the individual feed ratio flow
controls.
❖ Make-up hydrogen is supplied at 19.5 kg/cm2g to the Make-up
Compressor K.O. Drum and is then compressed by the Make-Up
Hydrogen Compressor to the reaction circuit pressure.
❖ The feed is mixed with combined hydrogen stream (recycle
hydrogen as well as make up hydrogen from respective
compressors) and then preheated first in the Feed / Reactor
Effluent Exchanger using reactor effluent coming from Stripper
feed preheater.
FOTE-MSU Page 27
❖ The feed is mixed with combined hydrogen stream (recycle

hydrogen as well as make up hydrogen from respective
compressors) and then preheated first in the Feed / Reactor Effluent
Exchanger using reactor effluent coming from Stripper feed
preheater.
2. Reaction Section:
❖ The Hydrotreater Reactor (R01/02) contains two reactors in series,
with each containing three catalyst beds. Recycle hydrogen is used
as the quench gas for maintaining the desired WABT in each of the
catalytic beds.
❖ The top catalytic bed in the 1st reactor operates at a lower
temperature, and this bed saturates the feed olefins and di-olefins.
❖ The inlet temperature to the Reactor, adjusted so that the required
inlet temperature is obtained for the subsequent HDS catalytic
beds.
❖ The effluent from the first catalytic bed is quenched if required to
control the inlet temperature of the second catalytic bed. In the
remaining two catalytic beds, the targeted average WABT is about
the same to complete the remaining reactions.
❖ Quench gas is also used for controlling the 2nd reactor inlet
temperature and the temperature of the catalytic beds.
❖ Wash water is injected into the reactor effluent at the outlet of the
Reactor Effluent/MP Liquid Exchanger in order to prevent any
deposit of ammonium salts.
❖ The Recycle H2 Compressor discharge is split into recycle gas and
quench gas streams, and the recycle gas is combined with the
make-up hydrogen and gas oil feed to enter reactor circuit. The
quench gas flowing to each reactor bed is on flow control reset by
the bed temperatures.
3. Reactor effluent circuit:

The reactor effluent is cooled progressively in series of Preheating the
stripper feed in the Stripper Feed Preheater (E-02)
❖ Preheating the oil/hydrogen feed in the feed/effluent exchangers.
❖ preheating the stripper feed in the Reactor Effluent/MP Liquid
Exchanger
❖ cooling the Reactor effluent in the Reactor Effluent Air Cooler
❖ Then the reactor effluent is collected in the vertical HP Cold
Separator Drum.
FOTE-MSU Page 28
4. Wash Water Circuit:

❖ Wash water is injected into the reactor effluent at the outlet of the
Reactor Effluent/MP Liquid Exchanger in order to prevent any deposit
of ammonium salts. The wash water is a mixture of recycled water
from the Stripper Reflux Drum and Coalescer plus make-up stripped
sour water from battery limits, and it is pumped, on flow control, from
the Wash Water Drum.
❖ Additional water injection facilities are provided for the last two shells
of the Feed/Effluent Exchangers and at the inlet to the MP Liquid
Exchanger to wash out any salt deposits, and these injections are
normally not required.
5. HP and MP STRIPPER SECTION:

❖ The HP Separator is a vertical drum with a coalescing pad located in
the bottom section and a mist eliminator in the top section. This drum
consists of three phases. The vapor phase from this drum consists of the
recycle and quench gas and is circulated by the recycle compressor. The
HP Separator is a vertical drum with a coalescing pad located in the
bottom section and a mist eliminator in the top section. The
hydrocarbon/water separation obtained in this drum is not sharp, and
hence both the hydrocarbon rich and water rich streams are let down
and once again combined in the downstream MP Cold Separator for
recovering a H2 rich off-gas stream.
❖ The MP Separator Drum is equipped with a water boot, and adequate residence time
is provided for obtaining a good separation of the liquid and sour water streams. Sour
water is separated from the hydrocarbon liquid phase and is routed to the battery
limits on HC/water interface level control, from the settling zone of the separator. The
hydrocarbon liquid flows on level control, to the stripping section. The separator also
contains a coalescing pad closer to the feed inlet nozzle. In addition to coalescing the
small water droplets, the coalescing pad also helps to streamline the HC/H2O flow in
the settling zone
6. RECYCLE LOOP:
❖ The recycle hydrogen stream leaving the HP Cold Separator Drum is
routed to the HP Amine Absorber for H2S removal. The lean amine is
a 30 wt.% MDEA solution, supplied to the HP Amine Absorber using
the HP Lean Amine Pumps.
❖ To prevent the possibility of foaming in the Absorber, the lean amine
stream is first heated using LP steam in the HP Amine Heater
❖ The rich amine from the HP Absorber bottoms is sent to the LP Amine
Absorber for flashing off the dissolved light ends.
❖ The Recycle H2 Compressor discharge is split into recycle gas and
quench gas streams, and the recycle gas is combined with the make-up
hydrogen and gas oil feed to enter reactor circuit.
FOTE-MSU Page 29
7. STRIPPER SECTION:
❖ The Diesel Stripper (C-01) fractionates the diesel product from the
reactor effluent liquid stream, which is supplied from the MP Cold
Separator Drum.
❖ The hot feed enters the Stripper onto the 10th tray (counting from the top)
and is stripped of H2S and light ends using superheated MP steam to
produce the wet diesel product.
❖ The Stripper overhead vapor is condensed in an air cooled condenser
(AC-02) and the trim condenser (E-08).
❖ The stripped wet diesel product is pumped to the battery limits.
8. AMINE SCRUBBING:
❖ Amine scrubbing in the unit is accomplished in three amine towers,
❖ The HP Amine Absorber (C-03) scrubs the recycle hydrogen gas from the
HP Cold Separator Drum.
❖ The MP Amine Absorber (C-05) scrubs the off-gas from the MP
Separator Drum (V-08).
❖ The LP Amine Absorber (C-04) scrubs the sour off gas mixture from the
Diesel Stripper (C-01) and the Stabilizer (C-02) as well as any dissolved
light ends from the HP and MP rich amine streams, which are let down
and fed to the LP Absorber sump.
❖ The HP Absorber employs 15 valve trays.
❖ The MP Absorber is a packed column utilizing two beds of 1” Pall Rings
(or equivalent).
❖ The LP Absorber employs 20 valve trays.

FLUID CATALYTIC CRACKING UNIT(FCCU)
➢ INTRODUCTION
❖ In 1982 FCCU was commissioned with capacity of 1 mmtpa.in the
coming years requirement of lpg and gasoline has been incresed and to
meeet that requirement this unit has been rewamped to 1.5 mmtpa.
❖ Cracking is a phenomenon by which large oil molecules are
decomposed into lower boling molecules.At this time certain of these
molecules which are reactive,combine with one onther to give more
larger molecule than those present in original stock.
❖ The more stable molecule leave the system as cracked gasoline and
reactive one polymerze forming fuel oiland coke.
❖ Primary objective of cracking processes had been to get more and more
gasoline
❖ This UOP designed Fluidized Catalytic Cracking Unit consists of
three sections: -
a. Catalyst Section
b. Fractionation Section
c. Gas Concentration Section
A. CATALYST SECTION: -
❖ The Catalyst Section consists of the Reactor and Regenerator,
which, together with the Stand Pipes and Riser, form the
“Catalyst Circulation System”.
❖ The catalyst circulates up the Riser to the Reactor, down through
the Stripper to the Regenerator across the Regenerator Standpipe,
and back to the Riser.
❖ Fresh feed and recycle streams, known as Combined Feed, are
vaporized and heated to the reactor temperature by the hot
catalyst.
❖ This mixture of oil vapour and catalyst travels up the Riser into
the Reactor. The gas oil commences to crack immediately when it
contacts the hot catalyst in the Riser and continues until the oil
vapours are disengaged from the catalyst in the Reactor.
FOTE-MSU Page 35
❖ The cracked products in the vapour phase goes from Reactor to

the fractionator’s through Reactor Vapour line. Coke is deposited
on the circulating catalyst in the reaction zone.
❖ Spent catalyst flows from the Reactor to the Regenerator where
coke is burnt off with controlled combustion air.
❖ The heat of combustion raises the catalyst temperature to 640 –
660 o C range. This hot catalyst supplies heat to the reactor.
B. FRACTIONATION SECTION:-
❖ In the fractionation section, the Reactor vapours are fractionated
into Wet Gas, Unstabilized Gasoline, Heavy Naphtha, Light
Cycle Oil (LCO), Heavy Cycle Oil (HCO) and Clarified Oil
(CLO).
C. GAS CONCENTRATION SECTION:
❖ Compressed Wet Gas and Unstabilized Gasoline go to Gas
Concentration Unit where they are separated into
❖ Fuel Gas, LPG & Stabilized Gasoline, LPG and Gasoline
are washed with caustic in the treating section of Gas
Concentration Unit.
❖ Amine treatment of LPG is done prior to caustic wash.
For the convenience of description, process flow of the entire unit
can be divided into six sections;
1. Feed Pre-heat Section

2. Catalyst Section
3. Fractionation Section
4. Gas Concentration Section
5. Caustic Treatment Section
6. Steam Generation Section
