Refining India 2019Growth in India’s demand for oil products will outstrip the rest of the world during the next 25 years, according to a recent focus report from the International Energy Agency. In response, India’s government concedes that even faster growth in refining capacity is essential to keep pace with domestic demand. This will mean more and bigger refineries, integrated with petrochemicals production and geared to the highest international standards of clean fuels to combat urban pollution...... View All Events |

Minimising Product GiveawayRefiners are responsible for controlling their blends of gasoline and diesel fuels to meet specifications for multiple parameters. Gasoline producers, for example, seek to control octane number (RON/MON), vapour pressure (RVP), distillation points, aromatics, oxygenates and more. The precise control of blend components to comply with specifications is necessary to meet legal requirements and reduce costs. |
