 INTRODUCTION
Barauni Refinery was built in collaboration with Russia and Romania.
Situated 125 kilometeres from Patna, it was built with an initial cost of Rs
49.40 crore. Barauni Refinery was commissioned in 1964 with a refining
capacity of 1 Million Metric Tonnes per Annum (MMTPA) and it was
dedicated to the Nation by the then Union Minister for Petroleum, Prof.
Humayun Kabir in January 1965. After de-bottlenecking, revamping and
expansion project, it's capacity today is 6 MMTPA. Matching secondary
processing facilities such as Resid Fluidised Catalytic Cracker (RFCC),
Diesel Hydrotreating (DHDT), Sulphur Recovery Unit (SRU) have been
added. Theses state of the art eco-friendly technologies have enabled
the refinery to produce environment- friendly green fuels complying with
international standards.

Barauni Refinery was initially designed to process low sulphur crude oil
(sweet crude) of Assam. After establishment of other refineries in the
Northeast, Assam crude is unavailable for Barauni. Hence, sweet crude
is being sourced from African, South East Asian and Middle East
countries like Nigeria, Iraq &Malaysia. The refinery receives crude oil by
pipeline from Paradip on the east coast via Haldia. With various revamps
and expansion projects at Barauni Refinery, capability for processing
high-sulphur crude has been added — high-sulphur crude oil (sour
crude) is cheaper than low-sulphur crudes — thereby increasing not only
the capacity but also the profitability of the refinery.
