Indian Oil, a government of India enterprise, is expanding the petrochemical capacity of its Gujarat refinery (LuPech Project).

The sulfur recovery plant is being built within Indian Oil's existing facility of Vadodra, Gujarat for its petrochemical and lube integration project.

Nuberg EPC will execute this project using the latest technology from France to future-proof Indian Oil's environmental sustainability and augmenting sulfur production capability. The SRU will enable Indian Oil to recover sulfur from sour gas. The plant is expected to be ready for production in just 28 months. The company is taking up the project on LSTK basis, including the technology.

Mr A. K. Tyagi, CMD, Nuberg Engineering, commented: "We are thankful to Indian Oil Corp. Ltd for entrusting another turnkey project to our engineering capabilities and EPC services and solutions. This partnership with Indian Oil is in addition to Nuberg EPC building and commissioning India's first commercial scale hydrogen purification (fuel cell grade), compression, storage dispensing facility for Indian Oil at Vadodara. The 1.5 tpd project involves generation of ultra-pure hydrogen and its storage at extremely high pressure."
