The country’s second largest national oil marketer Bharat Petroleum Corp Ltd has developed a novel technology to test the quality of crude oil at a fraction of the cost and time that it takes now through the lengthy lab tests.
The technology, which has a number of patents including those from the US and the EU, is a ‘crude horoscope predictor tool’ called BPMarrk, which can optimise varied properties from the crude.
The company is also in talks with leading international players in the crude assaying industry like Aspen, the largest in the segment, Honeywell, and Emerson, R Ramachandran, Director (Refineries), at BPCL said.
