L&T sees order book at $15.3 b by Mar 2009
L&T said the work involves setting up two 44,000-TPA capacity hydrogen generation units (HGU) for HMEL’s grassroots refinery in Bathinda, Punjab. The plant is designed for operation with “straight run naphtha” and DHDT (diesel hydro-treating) naphtha as feedstock. The nine-million-tonne refinery will generate products that meet Euro IV specifications.
The order for the HGU has been awarded on a lump sum turnkey basis. Denmark-based Haldor Topsoe has been selected by HMEL as the process licensor.
L&T will undertake residual process design, detailed engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning of the units. The order was bagged by the chemical plants business unit of L&T’s Engineering & Construction Division.
