The Heavy Engineering business of Larsen & Toubro, has completed and flagged off World’s Heaviest LC-Max Reactors ahead of schedule.
The reactors, weighing 2,313 Metric Tons (MT) each, will enable India’s first Residue Upgradation Facility (RUF) by Hindustan Petroleum Corporation’s Visakh Refinery to convert the heaviest oils to high-quality BS-VI diesel, as well as increase feedstock and improve product flexibility.
The reactors will sail in ‘single piece’ directly to Visakhapatnam from Larsen & Toubro’s integrated, coastal manufacturing facility located at Hazira in Gujarat.
Commenting on the occasion, MK Surana, Chairman & Managing Director, Hindustan Petroleum Corporation, said: “L&T has been our valuable partner in our journey to modernize and upgrade our refineries. We thank L&T team for early delivery of these reactors.”
