Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals (MRPL) has announced lining up projects, including a raw petroleum coke gas complex, worth Rs 15,000 crore in the coming years.<\/p>\n
According to MRPL Managing Director H Kumar, attempts to produce ‘Syngas’ (synthetic gas) and subsequently to produce value-added chemicals such as urea (fertiliser), acetic acid, acryilate among others and production of linear alkyl benzene (LAB) – a feed stock to produce detergents have been made.<\/p>\n
Director (Refineries) M. Venkatesh said MRPL had to upgrade facilities in the wake of the Centre’s auto fuel up-gradation policy to produce BS VI grade fuel by April 2020.<\/p>\n
This would greatly help reduce environment pollution caused by automobile emissions, but additional land would be required to set up the same.<\/p>\n
It also mentioned about MRPL enhancing its refining capacity from 18 to 21 million tonnes per year to meet the increasing fuel demand.<\/p>\n
The land to be acquired for the purpose was spread across four villages and most of which was being acquired was dry land.<\/p>\n
“The land to rehabilitate displaced persons was being acquired in Mulur and Yekkar as per directions issued by the state government,” the release said.<\/p>\n
A total of 75.2% of land owners in four villages, owning 80% land, have given their consent to acquire the land for phase IV expansion of the refinery.<\/p>\n
The MRPL would also take up afforestation activities both at 27 acres of buffer zone and at Pilikula, added the release.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
